PREFACE.

While I have headed this a " Preface," I am unable to tell
why, unless, because others, under like circumstances, have done
so. For more than forty years, I have vigorously prosecuted my
professional work, giving little time to outside matters; although
at many times, I have paused, not to inquire, but to wonder as
to whom my ancestors were and where they came from. Often
I have queried, whether or not some one of our numerous
family, would take upon himself the labor and expense of tracing
the family, and recording it in some substantial form for the in-
formation of present and succeeding generations; but as no other
Jones seemed willing to assume the burden, reluctantly I deter-
mined that Thomas Jones, who settled at Cape Ann (Now
Gloucester, Mass.), about 1629, and his descendants should have
a historian if one could be found, suitable and competent, for the
work. Fortunately I fell upon one in every way ' ' worthy and
well qualified." Learning that Mr. L,. N. Parker, a cousin of
mine through my maternal grandmother, lyUcy Andrews, had
prepared an elegant genealogy of the Parker family, I became
satisfied that he was the man I wanted for the work. When I
approached him upon the subject, I found that he was not eager
or anxious for the job, and it was only by my persuasive power that
I induced him to undertake it, and then he put conditions that
were somewhat galling to an employer. Among those conditions
were these: First, that he should be the absolute autocrat and
dictator. Second, that he should determine what should go in,
and what should go out. Third, that he should prepare all the
personal sketches, giving just such praise or criticism as in his
own judgment was right and just. To these and some other con-
ditions I assented, believing him eminently fair and just. Under
these conditions he has gone forward and prepared this history
of the ancestors and descendants of Capt. Israel Jones, who was

( vii)

viii PREFACE.

born at Enfield, Conn., and settled at Barkhamsted, Conn.,
about 1759, and died there.

Whatever credit may attach to the tracing and compiling of
this family history belongs to him; and on the contrary the
criticisms, if any, must rest on his shoulders.

Speaking for myself, I am highly pleased with the accurate,
careful and correct manner in which he has spread our family
tree.. In his work, patience and perseverance has been fully
exercised. Considering the fact that our family runs through
nearly three centuries, in this country, I think the result of his
patient and untiring work is nothing less than wonderful, indeed,
beyond my most sanguine hopes or expectations. While he has
not fully traced' our family prior to Capt. Israel Jones, he has
shown the direct line, so that the descendants of Thomas, Benja-
min I, Benjamin II and L,ieut. Thomas, may "catch on" and
extend it to the latest generation.

There are some things in this book which I would have pre-
ferred left out, and have so expressed n^self to him, notably
many things personal to myself. But Parker, the ' ' Autocrat and
dictator," said they should go in, and so you have it, good .or
bad.

By many, the question will probably be asked, where did
Thomas Jones emigrate from — on the other side of the Atlantic?
This is a question that has greatly interested us, but after
much inquiry, correspondence and search, we are compelled to
say, we don't know, and are unable to get the slightest clew.
While the old records at Gloucester, Mass., and other places are
quite full in reference to his quarrel with his son-in-law, Jackson,
and the location and disposition of his property, they are entirely
silent as to the nativity of our oldest known- ancestor. Tradition
says our family is of Welsh extraction, and I incline to believe
such to be the fact, but our only evidence is tradition coupled
with the fact, that Jones is generally regarded a Welsh name.
It would seem a little singular, that while we are able to find full
records of his age, marriage, family, property and quarrels, not
one word has been left to show the place of his nativity.

But without doubt it was somewhere within England's broad
domain. Many theories have been suggested as a reason for this
apparent suppression of evidence of the old home. Possibly the
best reason mav have been that he did not care to have it known.

PREFACE. ix

The reader of history will remember that the unwarlike King
James came to his death on March 27, 1625, and that Charles I,
with his French queen, Henrietta Maria, immediately came to
the throne, and the unprincipled Duke of Buckingham became
chief in command of the affairs of state.

The established church, with its episcopacy, became part of
the government, and to deny its teachings, authority, form of
worship; or to attend, give encouragement to, or be connected
with any dissenting church, was treason against the king.

This was especially hateful and distasteful to those of the
Presbyterian faith. Not only was the established church main-
tained, with all its original dogmas, but new ceremonials pecu-
liar to Romanism were adopted, and their observance enforced
under the reign of Charles. Not satisfied with compelling the
people of England to worship God in his way, he undertook to
enforce like subservience upon the staid Scotch Presbyterians,
but they would have none of it, and they formed their well
known League and Covenant to resist to the last this encroach-
ment upon their religious faith, and became known to the world
as Covenanters. War was the result, but Scotland remained true
to its faith, for Charles was compelled to yield to the inevitable.

Under the guidance of his leaders and advisers, Charles not
only made war upon the dissenters from the established church,
but he sought to make himself above and independent of the
House of Commons and the people, with authority to assess, levy
and collect his own revenues. On the other hand, the Commons
and the people revolted and asserted their lawful and rightful
authority, resulting in putting Cromwell at the head of the Par-
liamentary army and its final supremacy; the conferring upon
Cromwell the title and office of Lord Protector of the Common-
wealth of England.

During all these stormy times and bloody scenes, though
danger signals were flying thick and fast, and the swiftly flowing
current was hurrying in but one direction, Charles did not stay
his hand or change his determination until his head came to the
block.

While these scenes were transpiring, all, or nearly all, were
active upon the one side or the other, and, therefore, guilty of
treason and reasonably sure of the penalty, if the enemy should
be successful. Actuated by fear of the final result many escaped

x PREFACE.

to foreign countries, and man}' more to hide in the wilds of North
America. So great did the exodus become that Charles forbade
the shipmasters to receive them without royal assent.

While it is probably true that those which escaped to foreign
countries were safe from extradition for their supposed crimes, it
was equally true that those who betook themselves to the wilds
of this now fair land were then still within the domain of the
sovereign of Great Britain, and liable to arrest, hence the neces-
sity of concealing their identity; and it is a matter of history
to-day that many, for this purpose, changed their names. Pos-
sibly the name of our ancestors beyond the sea was not Jones at
all. We may belong to one or the other of the great families of
Smith or Brown, or possibly some less distinguished name.

Whether or not this theory is the true one, we shall prob-
ably never know with certainty, but there is one guess which we
can make with reasonable safety and sa}r, no Jones ever
believed in blue blood, the divine right of kings or the dictation
to others of a form of religious service, and, therefore, they are
and always have been on the side of the people.

In vindication of my course permit me to say that the hope- of
financial reward or profit has been no part of my purpose in hav-
ing this volume compiled, nor is any such thing expected.

My real purpose has been to know our family history, the
character of our people, and to place on record a volume to which
succeeding generations may go and learn their ancestry. For
that purpose I shall deposit a volume in each — the Library of
Congress and the State Libraries of Connecticut, Massachusetts
and Ohio.

In conclusion I desire to add that in scanning the history of
our family there is nothing to bring the blush of shame to our
cheeks. Nowhere have I learned that an}r member of the family
has ever been convicted of any crime or dishonest act. On the
contrary, the proof is abundant that at all times our family have
been honest, industrious, sober and patriotic people, many of
whom have been leaders in religious, patriotic and good works for
their fellow men.

Hoping that this work may be well received by our family
and that I may have the pleasure of meeting and knowing my
many cousins and relatives, I am,

Very truly yours,

A. W. Jones.

APOLOGY.

Though not to the " manor born," my early life, and
later associations have been connected with the Jones family ; for
my father's first wife was Statira Jones, and my cousin — the
late Rufus H. Parker — was the son of Harriet Byron Jones. I
was taught to call Samuel Jones " Grandpa Jones," and his
descendants, "uncles,'' "aunts," or "cousins," as the case
might be. His grandchildren were my school and playmates;
Ave lived as neighbors, and the grandsons were my comrades
during the Civil War.

In 1898, Rufus Parker and I made a visit east in quest of
genealogical lore connected with the early history of our families.
We visited New Hartford, Barkhamsted, Simsbury, Hartford,
and Enfield, Conn., where we went to the spots of family inter
est, searched records, and talked with the "old inhabitants,"
securing quite an amount of history connected with the Jones
family. My cousin on my maternal side, — Hon. A. W. Jones,
— desiring to complete as far as possible what we had begun, in
the fall of 1900, importuned me to gather later genealogy and
compile a Jones History for him which I reluctantly consented
to do. He secured the services of Miss Sara E. Cushman, of
Newtonville, Mass., to glean what early history of Thomas
Jones of Gloucester, and his family, we had not secured and
thereby add all available knowledge. She has searched Salem,
Gloucester, and Boston records, in connection with Suffolk Deeds,
and Probate Records; Bodge's Philip's War; Leehford's Note
Book; Phipps in Canada, 1690; Hotton'sShip Lists; Drake Ship
Lists; Farmer Genealogical Notes; Early Settlers; Pope's
Pioneers of Mass. ; History of Gloucester, by Babsm; also
Genealogical Notes, by Babson; History of Gloucester, by
Pringle; Genealogical Notes by Felt; Essex Institute Col-
lections; besides many other works on the same subject, includ-
ing land and probate records of Ipswich; Old Norfolk count}';

xii APOLOGY.

Essex county; and court records of Salem and Boston, thereby
setting at rest many uncertain traditions.

Histories by Bryant, Willard; Ridpath and others have been
freely consulted in connection with Barber's Historical Collec-
tions of Connecticut; History of Enfield, Conn., — Allen; Bark-
hamsted Centennial Celebration; Connecticut Men in the Revo-
lution; Massachusetts Soldiers and Sailors, and other works.

It is proper for me to state here, that I alone am responsible
for the contents and arrangement of this work; and I have aimed
to give enough general history to show something of the times
in which the several generations lived, for their lives went into
the making of that history, and from it we can draw some real-
ization of the obstacles our ancestors encountered. Undoubt-
edly mistakes will be discovered. Many times I received con-
flicting dates for the same event, in several instances from the
same person. At such times I had to take the ones that to me
seemed the most rational. I wish here to personally thank all
who have in any way aided me in making this book as nearly
complete as it is; for at the best it is next to impossible — if not
quite so — to gather all who are connected with any family which
traces through ten generations.

To the antiquarian, or genealogist, many things that are
unnoticed, or passed over lightly by a casual reader, assume valu-
able import; for they form a premise by analogy, upon which
facts are reared that otherwise would be lost. To the antiqua-
rian, shape, and style speak history ; while the genealogist draws
from names, dates, and locations the same result. Very much
more personal history might have been incorporated into this
work that would be of interest to many members of the family;
but a desire to keep it within economic proportions has had its
influence in the aim to condense as much as was consistent, leav-
ing minor points for the reader to supply from imagination.
Pioneer life had an element of sameness, as has the more settled
ways of an old community; and they are so different from each
other that neither can be a criterion to judge the other by. This
is one reason why we appreciate so little the effort made by our
ancestors in our behalf; and why we should venerate their mem-
ories more than we are prone to do. Is is my hope that this
book will be a strong link in connecting the Eternity of the past

with that of the future.

INTRODUCTION.

Jones was a common name in the early days of New
England, as the following record of arrivals will show. Feb-
ruary 17, 1635, in the "Hopewell," Thomas Jones, age 19.
June — , 1635, in the "True Love," Thomas Jones, age 17.
June 17, 1635, in the " Abigail," Thomas Jones, age 40, with
wife Ellen, and children, Isaac, Hester, Thomas, and Sarah.
This Thomas settled in Dorchester, and died there in 1667, as is
proven by Dorchester, and other records. In 1637, in the " Mary
& Ann," Thomas Jones, butcher, single man, age 25. This
Thomas was the same year a proprietor in the town of Newbury,
and later removed to Charlestown, where he died in 1666. That
he had a wife, Abigail — and daughter, Susanna, at the time of
his death, is proven by the sale of his Newbury lands after he
moved to Charlestown, and by his will. April 24, 1638, Thomas
Jones, of Caversham, Oxfordshire, tailor, age 36, with his wife
Ann, and four children under ten years of age, came in the
' ' Confidence. ' ' These are all the arrivals recorded of any Thomas
Jones, and neither one is "our Thomas." There was also a
Thomas Jones in Hingharu, in 1637, who had baptized there
two children: Thomas, on March 29, 1640; Mary, on May 28,
1643. This Thomas, so far as' names of children go, might be
Thomas of Gloucester, but records show that he made over his
property — a farm in Hull — to his eldest son, Abraham, and
moved to Manchester, and that he died in 1680, leaving a second
wife, Elizabeth, and six children.

Three others of the name were in Boston in 1651 to 1655,
but as this was long after " our Thomas " was located at Glou-
cester, it is unnecessary to trace them.

No evidence that " our Thomas " was in any way relaed to
those noted here, has been found. History affirms that Thomas
Jones, of Gloucester was Welsh; but whether by birth, or
descent, has not been ascertained. There is no doubt but his

( xiii )

xiv INTRODUCTION.

arrival in America antedates any record given here, and in all
probability will forever remain a mystery, as records will show
in the text of the work further on.

Thomas Jones, resides at Springfield, Mass, 1678-9.

Thomas Jones, Sr. ; also Thomas Jones, Jr. , at New Lon-
don, Conn., 1711-12.

Thomas Jones, Deputy for Fairfield, Conn., 1704.

In 1648, Margaret, wife of Thomas Jones, was executed as
a witch at Chariestown, Mass.; and her husband was afterwards
thrown into prison on the same charge. John Winthrop, who
kept a diary, says : ' ' The day and hour she was executed there
was a great tempest in Connecticut, which blew down trees, and
did much damage." The superstitious and credulous people
firmly believed that the devil was thus taking vengeance upon the
country. She had doctored sick people with roots and herbs ;
and the idea got abroad that she had a "malignant touch, " so if
she laid her hands upon persons in anger they would become
blind, deaf, or in some way afflicted. She was put in prison,
and the man who guarded her said that he saw a litt'e child with
her, which instantly vanished.

Notwithstanding she declared her innocence, the deluded
people protested that she was in league with the devil, and she
was executed. Margaret's husband, Thomas, had a sorry time
of it after she was hung ; people pointed their fingers at him,
and made his life so unpleasant that he went on board a
ship bound for Barbadoes. It was a small vessel, and there
were eighty horses on the deck which made it top heav}'. While
at anchor in the harbor the craft began to roll fearfully, and the
superstitious sailors said that Thomas Jones was the cause of it,
so they hustled him on shore and into prison as a witch.

John Jones took the "Oath of Fidelity" at New Haven,
Conn., August 5, 1644. An inventory of his estate, taken
December 10, 1657, was presented to the court at New Haven in
May, 1658.

Cornelius Jones testifies in court at New Haven in October,
1660.

Benjamin Jones, aged about twenty testifies in court at New
Haven in August, 1661.

In the same ship which brought over the Regicides, Goff
and Whaley, William Jones, a son-in-law of Gov. Eaton, came.

INTRODUCTION. xv

They arrived at Boston July 27, 1660. William Jones took the
" Oath of Fidelity" at New Haven, May 28, 1662, and was at
once elected a Magistrate ; and May 25, 1664, he was elected
Deputy Governor.

It is quite probable that through his influence the Regicides
were so well concealed and cared for during their stay in and
about New Haven, for they did not leave there for Hadley until
October 13, 1664.

History fails to record a parallel to the progress and develop-
ment made by the United States during the one hundred years
last past. Millions of happy comfortable homes have been
carved from an unbroken wilderness ; the earth has yielded
untold treasures in coal, iron and the precious metals ; the Great
American Desert of our childhood is being subjugated, and made
to produce sustenance for man and beast, while steam and elec-
tricity have opened possibilities which we do not yet know nor
full}- understand.

Much is due to our own energy; and much more to the wis-
dom of our ancestors, who by their untiring energy and devotion
to freedom and liberty, ennobled labor by eliminating from gov-
ernmental affairs all inheritance to office, position and power.

Self-denial and privation is the common lot of all colonists.
History records the greater ones, but the little vexations, priva-
tions, and personal experiences are lost to us, and we are left to
imagine how our ancestors succeeded so well under the circum-
stances in which they were placed. To us it would seem that
everything had to be done in the most laborious manner ; every-
thing done by hand, and with no adequate tools to work with.
From the successes achieved by our progenitors, we learn what may
be accomplished by persistent perseverance and well directed
energy. In every generation of the Jones family we find restless
spirits who seem provided by nature with the elements which enter
into a successful pioneer. Always pushing to the front with indomi-
table energy they established homes in advance of civilization,
became leaders in the society in which they moved, stood up
independently for their rights, and everywhere proved to be
worthy and substantial citizens.

Two hundred years ago this whole country, which now
enumerates over seventy-six millions, was a vast unbroken wilder-

xvi INTRODUCTION.

ness, except for a few colonies struggling for an existence on
the Atlantic coast.

To-day the descendants of Thomas Jones, the, emigrant, are
scattered in a continuous line from the Atlantic to the Pacific;
some having pushed ahead to acquire new possessions, while
others remained to hold what had already been won.

The family has been represented in colonial councils, as well
as legislative bodies; and no war of great import since America
existed has been waged, but we find a record showing the devo-
tion of its members to the cause of ' ' Freedom and Liberty. ' '

HISTORY AND GENEALOGY

OF THE ANCESTORS AND FAMILY OF CAPT. ISRAEL
JONES, OF BARKHAMSTED, CONN.

1629-30—1759.

When Wiuslow returned from England in the spring of 1624
he brought with him a grant, made to himself and Robert Cush-
man by Edward Lord Sheffield, of five hundred acres of land,
together with thirty acres in addition for each actual settler for
a mile and a half along the shore of Cape Ann Bay, now Glou-
cester. Captain John Smith, in a voyage of discovery made pre-
vious to this time, had named this point Cape Tragabigzanda,
in honor of that noble Turkish gentlewoman, Charatza Tragabig-
zanda, whose slave he once was, by right of purchase, and who,
he tells us, pined for love of him. But Prince Charles ruthlessly
took from New England the perpetuation of the memory of this
tender romance by changing the name to Cape Ann in honor of
his mother, Ann of Denmark. *

Here Winslow debarked to establish a plantation and fishing
station, a not unimportant part of the cargo being four head of
cattle for breeding purposes, they being the first importation of
cattle to the Plymouth Colonies. For several years, fishermen,
during the season of fishing, had landed here for the purpose of
curing their catch.

In 1620, seven or eight fishing vessels were sent to this
locality to fish, and four years later the number was increased to
fifty. In 1623 it was proposed to found a colony there which
should unite the industries of planting and fishing. This was
attempted, but was abandoned, being unsuccessful, • and the
settlers nearly all removed to Salem ; but after a struggle of two
or three years the few remaining received accessions under the
leadership of such men as White and Endicott, and the colony
was established permanently. Conflicting grants worked against

* Bryant's History U. S., Voi. 1, p. 417.

(1)

2 HISTORY AND GENEALOGY OF THE

the success of the earliest settlements, and for some years the
feeble colony struggled for an existence under adverse circum-
stances, so that upon Endicott's arrival in November, 1628,
those alread}r there* numbered but some fifty or sixty persons.
A year later, when the Rev. Francis Higginson joined them with
two hundred more, he found there one hundred, "but from
where did the increase, come ? "* From this time the settlement
seems to have been permanent, although there was considerable
shifting of the population which naturally came as the result of
adverse circumstances and a lawless element which had come
with the later emigrations.

The movement begun at Dorchester (England) by the Rev.
Mr. White, with no other ambitious purpose than to plant a
colony of fishermen at Cape Ann ; growing then to the larger
project under Endicott with a grant of lands from the Plymouth
Company, had assumed other proportions under a royal patent.
' ' The Governor and Company of the Massachusetts Bay in
New England," f was the title by which it was known, and
included what is now called Boston harbor from Nahant to Point
Alderton.

In June,. 1629, three vessels entered the harbor of Salem,
followed a few days later by three others. They carried, besides
their crews, four hundred and six men, women and children,
besides an ample supply of live stock and tools. One of these
six ships was the Mayflower, which, nine years before, had
carried the Pilgrims to Plymouth : and during the summer of
1630, seventeen ships made that harbor — among them the faith-
ful Mayflower — bringing altogether about a thousand persons. +

Thomas Jones — the emigrant — was born in 1598, as is proven
by his testimony given in court in 1665, when he gave his age as
67 years, and "deposed that when the lot layers first layd out
ye marsh of ye long cove in squares he was with them, and
identifies the bounds." — Essex County Mass., Court Files, Vol. 11,
p. 112. In a review of the same case, Thomas Jones, aged 68,
testified again March 26, 1666, Vol. 12, p. 54: The fact that he
was with the " lot layers" when the property was first laid out,

JONES FAMILY. 3

proves that he was an early, permanent settler, among the very
first, and without doubt as early as 1629-30 ; for the permanent
settlement dates about 1628. Just when, or upon what vessel he
came, is clouded in mystery. Gloucester was made a town in
1639 ; and the record book begins in 1642. So there must have
been quite a settlement previous to 1639, and in all probability
the ' ' Marsh ' ' had been appropriated for meadow purposes for
several years, which would place his arrival earlier.

In one place he calls himself "of Gloucester, formerly
Cape Ann, " which indicates that he belonged to the place
before it received the name of Gloucester. A fishing settlement
was started there about 1624, which was for a time under the
superintendence of Roger Conant, but it did not continue long,
most of the settlers removing to Salem, as has been stated. Tra-
dition is more often uncertain than accurate; and yet, to a certain
extent, is worthy of consideration. From different branches of
the family, and remote from each other, a tradition is held that
the first American ancestor of the family came over in the May-
flower. No ground for belief that he came in 1620 exists; in
fact, evidence is against it ; but that he was a member of a com-
pany which came in 1629 or 30, is not only possible, but under
tradition and evidence, probable. Arrivals previous to 1634
were numerous, and full records were not kept, or have been
lost. Gloucester was made a town in 1639, and incorporated in
1642. That name was chosen because some of its principal
inhabitants came from Gloucester, England. — See American
Encyclopedia, Vol. 8, p. 302.

Babson's History of Gloucester, p. 107, says: " Thomas
Jones was born in 1598. He was in Gloucester as early as 1642,
and owned a house and land near the burying place. He was
admitted Freeman in 1653; and died in 1671, leaving an estate of
£ 147: 15s. His wife was Mary, daughter of Richard, and
Ursula North. She died in 1681."

Ity court records, — see Mass. General Archives, office of
Secretary of State, at the State House, Boston, Vol. 16, pp. 9,
10, — it appears that this record is incorrect in this: Ursula was
the second wife of Richard North, and mother to none of his
children, who probably were all born in England, before he
emigrated to America.

4 HISTORY AND GENEALOGY OF THE

It would appear from this court record, that the mother
died, and Richard remarried in England ; although from all
sources it appears in American Ancestry, that Ursula was a
mother to the children of Richard North.

It appears that from the first permanent settlement of Cape
Ann, or Gloucester, — up to 1650, there were eighty- two persons
who owned real estate; and that only about one-third of these
persons found their last resting place at Gloucester, the rest hav-
ing removed to other places.

The first English settlement at New London, Conn., was
made in 1646. Lots were laid out, but some of the settlers
became discouraged and left the place. The next year, Mr.
Richard Blinman, an ejected clergyman from Parish Chepstowe,
Monmouthshire, England, joined the settlement with about
twenty families and heads of families, the most of them proba-
bly, the members of his original colony of about fifty, who
appear at Plymouth, certainly as early as March, 1640-41. Upon
his arrival, Marshfield, being without a pastor, invited him to
settle there, which he accepted, and preached for that settlement
for a year. Doctrinal differences arose, and he went to Glou:
cester, about 1642, removing from there, as stated, to New Lon-
don, where he seems to have remained.

Thomas Jones went to New London* with this company;
but, apparently not liking the location, did not apply for a set-
tler's grant, and soon returned to Gloucester. This appears to
be the only time that he ever made any attempt, or seriously
thought of removing from the location he had first chosen.

Thomas Jones' name, or rather his mark, is affixed to a
covenant entered into by the inhabitants of Gloucester, with
their pastor, Rev. John Emerson, granting him certain privileges
because of his erecting a grist mill, in May, 1664 He does not
seem to have gone on record as a dealer in lands, as they were
probably town grants, and he held them intact, dividing them in
his will between his sons Thomas and Benjamin; Benjamin
receiving the homestead and the lands adjoining, and Thomas
that part of the farm which lay on the opposite side of the
Annisquam river.

Benjamin appears to have been the chief dependence of
his parents, perhaps because he lived in the homestead. As for

North, — or Nathaniel, — his father does not seem to have been
on good terms with him; he had evidently left home, and was
not likely to return, as the gift of twenty shillings was made
conditional upon his coming in person to claim it.*

Thomas Jones, Sr. , died August 26, 1671, as is shown by
probate record. It is erroneously stated in some books as occur-
ring on 8 (11) 1671, i. e., January 8, 16^-. As will be seen, Mary
Jones made her will January 28, 16f|-, and bequeathed to her
three daughters, one shilling each, the balance of her goods to
her son Benjamin, who had an inventory taken of the same, on
February 22, 16f^-. She died February 4, 16fi. "A record
purporting to have come from Gloucester records gives the date
of her death as December 4, which is disproved by the will,,
which see elsewhere. Richard North, the father of Mary
(North) Jones died in Salisbury "in the beginning of March,
1667," leaving by will a legacy of £ 5, to his daughter Mary
Jones. In the settlement of Richard North's estate, "Thomas
Jones of Gloster, formerly of Cape Ann, gave a receipt for this
legac3^ to the widow, Ursula North, July 24, 1669." Dates, it
will be observed, are old style; the year commencing about the
middle of March:

From the wording of the records noted, as wrell as their con-
nection with Ipswich, it appears that the family was intimately
connected with Ipswich settlers, and followed agricultural pur-
suits for a livelihood. The Indians had taught the early set-
tlers how to fertilize their corn by using a fish in each hill ;
but from the following amusing record taken from Ipswich
town record of May 11, 1644, it appears this was not wholly
successful at all times.

"It is ordered that all the doggs for the space of three
weeks from the publishing hereof shall have one legg tyed up,
and if such a dogg shall break loose and be found doing harm
the owner of the dogg shall pay damage. If a man refuse to
tye up his dogg's leg, and hee bee found scraping up fish in a
corn field, the owner thereof shall pay twelve pence damage,
besides whatever damage the dogg doeth. But if any fish
their house lotts and receive damage by doggs, the owner of
these house lotts shall bear the damage themselves."

cester, Mass., their children being the second generation.

to Susanna Jackson, and that the latter is aged 21 years."
This would make her birth date 1638-9 ; she being the eldest of
Thomas Jones' children, and previous to any town records
extant.

4. Mary, b. — prob — 1642 or 3 ; m. Nathaniel Winsley

father made his will in 1671.

5. North or Nathaniel — twin with Ruth — b. Feb. 22,
1645, living, but probably not in Gloucester, in 1671. See his
father's will.

6. Ruth — twin with North — b. Feb. 22, 1645 ; m. Thomas
Howard (Hayward) of Salem, Sept. 15, 1667. Named in the
wills of her father — 1671 — and her brother, Thomas, Jr., 1672.
She d. in 1675.

7. Samuel, b. Aug. 31, 1647. Had probably received his
portion and gone for himself, as his father mentioned him in his
will by bestowing one shilling. This is probably " Sergt Samuel
Jones" who died at Enfield ; Sept. 25, 1715. It is reasonable to
infer that he went to Salem ; from there with the colony that
settled Enfield, and as no record of marriage, or birth of children
is found, died unmarried.

8. Kphriam, b. Apr. 1, 1649. He is not named in his
father's will ; does not appear in any record except that he was
apprenticed for twelve years to Nathaniel Ffrayer. Probably
died young.

of John Wild, of Topsfield, Jan. 23, 1678. He d. at Enfield,

10. Remember, b. Aug. 1, 1653 ; m. Nathaniel Hadlock,
May 1, 1673, and d. at Gloucester, Nov. 2, 1718. She was the
mother of nine children born between 1674 and 1700 ; among
whom were John, b. 1682, and James b. 1684. It is quite prob-
able that Rebecca, Josiah and Samuel, who appear early in
Enfield, were children of Nathanial and Remember (Jones) Had-
lock. Rebecca m. Edward Kibbe, Feb. 15, 1692; d. "about a
week in October, 1692, aged about 19 years " Josiah m. Dinah

dren were born to him, viz : Hannah, Oct. 30, 1726, and John,
Feb. 20, 1731. Josiah seems to have made an effort to acquire

12 HISTORY AND GENEALOGY OF THE

some real estate, for in 1730 a grant was made to him, near the
Windsor line, of 80 acres ; but it does not appear that the family
were identified with Enfield or Somers for any great length of
time. Babson's History of Gloucester states that Thomas Jones
had another daughter, name unknown, who m. Kent.

Ipswich, Mass. , records give the following :
" Nathaniel Jones married Rachel Bradford in 1704, and had
children, viz : Nathaniel, William, Hannah, John, Benjamin
and Bethia. " The genealogy is carried out in " Hammett's
Papers of Ipswich."

It is possible that this Nathaniel was a grandson of Thomas
of Gloucester ; but no proof has been found. Names slightly
indicate that he was of this family, but the chances are so uncer-
tain that subsequent generations have not been traced in connec-
tion with the family of Thomas.

Whether Thomas Howard remarried after the death of his
wife is uncertain but probable. From Enfield records it would
appear that he had sons, Thomas, Jr. , and Nathan ; and as John:
Benjamin, b. May 4, 1786. Ebenezer and Jonathan appear at
about the same time — they were of the same family. This family
seem to have remained at and about Enfield for some twenty or
thirty years, but eventually scattered, some to New London, some
to other places. Thomas had a. daughter that conveyed the estate
in Enfield and Somers, which she received from her father, to
Ebenezer Howard of New London. (A. D. 1738.)

Benjamin Howard of " Narrowgansett " possessed land upon
Thomas Howard's right, with Obadiah Hulburd, of Enfield, and
John Perkins, of New Haven (A.D. 1732). John Howard received
land "on account of his father's grant" Mar. 17, 1716. (It is
possible that John and Jonathan, who appears but once in the
record, are the same person.)

Benjamin Jones, of Gloucester, is credited by that town with
service in the war, to the amount of £1, 4 s., Aug 24, 1676. The
Treasurer of Mass. Bay Colony recorded as paid to Benjamin
Jones, July 24, 1676, £1, 16s. for his service at Marlboro'
Garrison, under Capt. Samuel Brocklebank. No particulars of
the service are given in this account. Capt. Brocklebank was from
Rowley, and the soldiers served in relays, a few at a time. The
lists of soldiers which were made for settlement in 1733, originally
contained all the soldiers that had claims for service against the
Colony in the "King Philip War." The arrangement was by
towns, alphabetically, and was on a quire or so of foolscap paper;
all the middle sheets of it are now missing, so that the balance
of the list remaining goes no farther than Dorchester, beginning
again at the town of Yarmouth. Gloucester is lost, so we have
no record from which to determine what other service was per-
formed by him. That he laid claim to a land grant in addition
to what he received in 1696 appears from the wording in the
settlement of his estate — which see — . : Babson's Hist, of Glou-
cester says, p. 207 : "In 1696, Benjamin Jones was granted a lot
of laud for the part he took in the Indian Wars." Whether the
claim referred to covered this grant, or the one anticipated which
was not settled until some years after, does not appear.

" March 4, 17-ff, the heirs of Benjamin Jones, Sr., presented
"to Court an agreement in settlement of his estate, which the
' ' Court accepted. ' '

The signers to this agreement are Elizabeth Jones, his widow;
Thomas Jones, Ebenezer Jones, Eleazer Jones, Benjamin Jones,
and John Howard in the right of his wife Priscilla. This
agreeement did not include ' ' any lands in Gloucester belonging
to Benjamin Jones, Sr. , Dec'd."

(Northampton Probate Records, Book 4, p. 100.)
It is impossible for us to understand, much less to describe in
any adequate manner, the misfortune and desolation which the
King Philip war produced. Estimates drawn from official
records, show that no less than six hundred of the inhabitants,
the flower and strength of the country, either fell in battle or
were murdered by the enemy ; and there were few families, or
individuals, who had not lost some near relative in the savage
strife ; a strife, in which the Indians hoped to exterminate the
settlers, and which resulted in practically exterminating an entire
tribe of Indians.

' ' When the army was mustered on Dedham Plain prepara-
tory to the march against the stronghold of King Philip, a proc-
lamation was made to the troops, in the name of the Govern-
ment, that if they played the man, took the fort, and drove the
enemy out of the Narragansett county, which was their great
seat, that they should have a gratuity in land besides their
wages."

' ' The message which the House sent up to the Council urg-
ing the claims of these soldiers, and which brought the Board
into their views, in 1731, is a state paper of extraordiuar)- dignity
and power, presenting the whole merits of the case in language
of the greatest dignity and propriety. It sets forth the hard-
ships and perils incurred in storming the fort in the depth of
winter, and the pinching wants they afterwards underwent in
pursuing the Indians that escaped through a hideous wilderness
famously known throughout New England ever afterwards as
' the Hungry March; ' and that until this brave though small
army did thus ' play the man ' and take the fort, the whole

JONES FAMILY. 15

country was filled with distress, and the inhabitants trembled
even in the capital, Boston itself."

"These Narragansett officers and soldiers, who, in the lan-
guage of the message already mentioned, are characterized as *
* * ' the best men of the province, the fathers and sons of
some of the greatest and best of the families, commenced effort
to secure the promised land bounty, as early as 1685.' '

The list was finally completed, but was not formally acted
upon, until 1733, when the grants were assigned Oct. 17, 1733.

It is probable that. this grant, then (Mar. 4, 17-ff ) in process
of settlement, is what is referred to by " any lands in Gloucester,
etc.," noted above.

From the following Enfield record it appears that town priv-
ileges were considered as an obligation, and must, under penalty,
be exercised.

" 1694. It is voted by the town that whatsoever person or
persons shal either neglect or refuse to atend town metings from
time to time to Legall warning shal pay five shillins a day for
every days neglect or defect and shall be forthwith colected by the
constable per or of the modorator of said meeting: also if any
person or persons shal absent themselves from town meetings
from the work of ye day or if any be disorderly by impertinent
discorsis or by any other means shal prove distrektine to the
carrying on ye work of ye day at said meetin shall forthwith be
inflicked with shuch penaltyes as the modorator of shuch meeting
shal see reson to impose on them : which penaltyes shal be
gathered by cunstale per order of such moderator of ye said
meeting, exsept such ofending persons give present sattesfaction
to ye moderator and all such finds shal be for ye use and benefitt
of the town."

It will be understood that the real estate comprised within
the bounds acquired by any colony, was held as common prop-
erty until by vote of the colony in meeting assembled, parts were
set off to individuals and described by metes and bounds. Each
original member of a colony usually received an equal amount
of land for a " home lot " " field land," and " meadow."

As desirable settlers appeared, whom the colony wished to
have settle among them, grants of land were made, as in the case
of the original colonists ; and it would appear, held a share ac-

16 HISTORY AND GENEALOGY OF THE

cording to the amount of property upon which they paid rates, —
or taxes, — with the original members of the colony, in undivided
lands.

These undivided, or common lands, were under the control
of the chosen officers of the colon}', and kept intact for the com-
mon good until they were apportioned from time to time by
public division to individual owners. Sometimes this was done
by lot, and often by voting a special grant. As soon as common
land passed into individual ownership it became subject to rates,
and so aided in the matter of revenues.

The following extracts from the record of land grants at
Enfield will be of interest:

18 HISTORY AND GENEALOGY OF THE

It will be understood that this record refers to the boxing of
pine trees for their product, which seems to have been quite an
industry at that time, as nearly every settler had his allotment
of trees which he worked on his own account.

(The record regarding candlewood is to regulate the gather-
ing and storing of pine knots and pitch fat, which were used for
lighting purposes, etc.) Many quaint records regarding this
industry appear ; and much controversy arose over various rights
and privileges connected with the production of turpentine from
trees upon common land. In many places Enfield is spelled
" endfield," substantiating the tradition as to the derivation of
the name.

The record of the grant to Benjamin Jones at Enfield bears
date Nov. 8, 1686, and reads as follows, viz: " Granted to Ben-
jamin Jones an allotment also (viz) 40 acres of field land with
proportion of meadow which is 4 acres and a home lot of 12 acres
on the west side of the street or if he desires it his home lot on
the east side of the street, he had liberty there to take it, but
then in case of the scantness of the lots on that side we
accounted the breadth could not well exceed 10 or 11 rods there
afterward Goodn Howard Coming in his behalf and urging it
might be 12 rods broad on the east side, I told him we would
conclude it to be full 11 rods broad, that home lot, and if the
land there for lots would allow it, it should be pitch for his home
lot on the east side about John Priors lot, all is granted to him
upon conditions he come to Enfield with his family next spring
and continue there to dwell for seven years from this time, and
then all is granted to him the said Jones his heirs and assigns
forever he defraying all charges and submitting to all the orders
of the place." This record locates the time of Benjamin Jones'
removal to Enfield. In this, he was probably influenced by his
brother-in-law Thomas Howard who was a member of the Salem
colony that made the settlement permanent in 1681, for he seems
to have looked after Benjamin's interests in the location of the
grant and we find their home lots joined, Benjamin's being the
' ' 4th lot south from the North highway on the east side of the
street." Thomas Howard's lot went to his son, Thomas, Jr., who
lost his life in the " public service of the country " about 1789
or 90.

JONES FAMILY. ]<)

Benjamin must have complied with the requirements of the
grant, for, Mar. 8, 1687, the Enfield record says: " Benjamin
Jones elected surveyor of Highways," an office which he seems
to have satisfactorily filled for two consecutive terms. Numer-
ous additional grants were made and in time he acquired a large
tract of land in " East Enfield " — now Somers — where the most
of his children settled. The grant of land first made by Enfield
in 1686 consisted of only " a home lot, 12 acres ; field land, 40
acres, and meadow, 4 acres." (See Enfield Land Record*
Book 41.)

The home lot went to Thomas Jones on the death of his father,
and on this lot Benjamin Jones lived and in all probability died,
although many historians credit him with being the first settler
of Somers ; still, as that was where the most of his children
resided, he may have spent his last days there. This is not likely,
however, for the territory now known as Somers had been perma-
nently settled but five years at the time of his death and age dis-
likes a removal to new scenes. It is more reasonable to conclude
that the first settler of Somers was his son Benjamin who had
already married Ann Prior. Benjamin Jones, Sr., seems to have
given his attention to his own business, which was successfully
conducted, and to caring for his children who grew up an honor
to their parents.

The record shows that no more wrorthy or influential family
resided in Enfield than the descendants of Benjamin Jones.

As has been stated, Enfield was permanently settled by a
colony from Salem, Mass., in 1681, and the territory embraced
within its bounds belonged to Springfield, Mass., for several years.
The location was first known as Freshwater plantation; after-
wards receiving the name of Enfield. Tradition says, the settle-
ment being remote from Springfield was called End-of-the-
field, which by contraction became Enfield. The Enfield
colony continued under the jurisdiction of Massachusetts until
1749, when it severed its connection by a bold act of secession,
and joined with Connecticut ; and there continued, although
the boundary between Massachusetts and Connecticut was not
permanently settled until about 1808. A few of the records
connected with this event will be of interest.

For over forty years Enfield was practically unanimous in
its desire to become separate from Massachusetts, and be joined
to the colony of Connecticut. With this end in view, at a town
meeting held Dec. 11, 1704, the following action is on record:

' ' The Town by a clere voat doe yeld themselves to be under
' ' conettecoat thir government and furder voat yt 37e select men
' ' with others shall signifie the Towns mind in that matter to
" conettecotts authority. Thomas abbe enters his desent to this
act."

The cause of this desire to change allegiance seems to be a dis-
satisfaction with the charges imposed b}- the authorities at
Boston, for at a town meeting held Aug. 6, 1705:

"The inhabetence agree and vote to send a Represenative to
'ye next generall cort in boston & that ye payment of the cun-
'try Charges or reats which are or may be demanded shall be
'suspended until ye- returnd of our depety which shall be im-
' poured: & Dike wise the Town doe hereby & by this voate bind
'themselves to defend their assesers in their omission or de[ ]-
'ing to ases the inhabetence upon the acount of any cuntry
'charg or tax until the return of the Represenative — it was

JONES FAMILY. 21

"voated at this meeting that Let Pese should be sent a Repr<
"senative to ye next general] eort at boston."

Another effort was made to have this tax abated in 1 700.
Again in 1707 "the town meet <K: eh use capten meacham as a
"debety to goe tliir generall eort to boston. The town by a clere
"voat at this meeting do yeald Themselves under harford gov-
"ernment to be subject thereto, and the town furder voat to Leve
"it to ye selectmen to meke a lest of ye Esteat & to give it into
"harford eort." 1710, 1716, 1740 and 1744 saw efforts which
brought no result; but in 1747, another effort was made, with
money voted for expenses, in which the towns of Woodstock,
Suffield or Somers seem to have joined. This effort brought such
results that on Dec. 5, 1749, a town meeting in Enfield was held
for the purpose of "Electing of Town Officers &c Agreeable to
"the Laws of the Colony of Connecticut — [First election under
"the laws of Connecticut] . ' '

The whole proceeding seems to have been an overt act of
secession; and Thomas Jones was the first Representative from
Enfield to the Connecticut General Assembly. In a measure this
was probably due to the active part he had taken in bringing the
matter to a successful conclusion and to the influence and respect
he had won in the settlement, for the record says under date of
Dec. 18, 1721: "Att ye same Meeting Voated that ye Interest
arising upon ye Towne proportion of ye Bank Money shall be
paid towards Defraying ye Cuntry Rate Anually; Zechariah
Booth Isaac Pese & Thomas Jones Enter their Desents to this
Voat"- -Again, April 7, 1740 — "Then Leiut Jones was Chosen
to go to Hartford or Windsor & get the best advise he Can (if ye
other towns viz suffield Woodstock & Somers will Joyn with us)
in order to Joyn with Connetecutt — ' '

Enfield records show that Lieut. Thomas Jones was no com-
mon man. Elected as Ensign, and later as Lieutenant of the
Enfield Train Band, he developed military ability; but his strong-
est attainments seem to have been in the management of Church
and Colonial affairs. A partial record of the offices to which he
was elected from 1709 to 1744 will show this to be true.

Elected Selectman, 16 times; Assessor, 9 times; Town Sur-
veyor, or Measurer of land, 10 times; Moderator of town meet-

22 HISTORY AND GENEALOGY OF THE

ings, 14 times; minor offices, and upon committees, 14 times.
One of the committee elected in 1721-22 to settle church differ-
ences with their pastor, Rev. Nathaniel Collins, and influence him
to lay down the work of the Ministry.

A member of the committee elected to "Seat the meeting-
house" in 1739.

This must have been an unpleasant and thankless duty, and
undoubtedly was done at irregular intervals as occasion demanded
changes. The committee for this duty was chosen Mar. 12, 1739,
and consisted of "Lieut. Jones, Ensign Terry, Sergt. Gains. Eze-
kiel Pease and Sergt. Abbe;" and the following, from the record,
will give a faint idea of what this committee had to face:

"At a Legal Town meeting In Enfield march ye 21st, 1739 —
Then Lieut John meacham was Chosen moderator for ye work of
sd meeting —

' 'Yoated yt the Pews in ye flank of ye meetinghouse ye mens
Side be made into one pew & to have but one door to sd pew —

"Voated yt ye pew ye womings Side in ye flank be in ye
Same fassion of ye pew in ye flank on ye mens Side —

"Voated yt two pews shall be built ye South Side of the meet-
ing house where ye gard Seats are.

"Then John meacham Richard french Ebenr Terry ware
Chosen a Comtee to Dignify ye Seats in ye meeting house —

' 'Voated yt ye Comtee for seating ye meeting house Shall Seat
according to ye Rules following, i. e.: they shall adjust age use-
fulness Quallification and offices with the Last three years Lists.''

Lieut. Thomas Jones was the first delegate to the Connect-
icut General Assembly from Enfield, May, 1750.

On the 5th of October, 1749, Thomas Jones deeded to Israel
Jones the family homestead on Enfield St; that is " the 12 acres
originally my father, Benjamin Jones' home lot. ' '

It was customary for the eldest son to receive a ' ' double por-
tion," and as Thomas, Jr., died without widow or issue, it left
Israel to receive the " home lot " as a part of that portion. Dis-
tribution was finally made of Lieut. Thomas' estate April 9,
1765 — he having died in November, 1763. In that distribution,
mention is made of his children as "Israel Jones; Rev. Mr.
Isaac Jones, of Weston, Mass.; Mary Whipple, (wife of Abra-
ham); Jerusha Spencer, deceased, (wife of Jonathan") ; Bathsheba
Pease (wife of John); Elizabeth Kellogg (wife of David)."

What history we have of Thomas Jones, Jr. , eldest son of
Lieut. Thomas, of Knfield, is pathetic, as well as patriotic. It
requires no stretch of imagination to conclude why he joined the
Cape Breton expedition. Married in 1742, to the lady of his
choice, life opened brightly; but death entered his home the fol-
lowing year, and left him with broken hopes, which coupled with
a love for his country induced him to join in such a hazardous
enterprise. The following excerpt from history will give a
faint idea of what the troops endured and accomplished, as well
as the result, which proved to be of no benefit to the colonists,
or nation. The same valor which in 1745 was expended in

JONES FAMILY. 25

England's favor, thirty years from that time, almost to a day,
was turned against her as the result of her overbearance and
injustice.

The Cape Breton expedition was an anomaly in warfare;
for shortly after war was declared between England and France
in 1744, Governor Shirley, of Massachusetts, conceived the plan
of attacking the fortress at Louisburg, the capital of Cape
Breton Island, which at great expense had been erected by the
French to protect their interests on the coast. The fortress was
located so that it commanded the navigation of the St. Lawrence
river, and the valuable fisheries of the adjoining seas; and was
so massive and strong, that it was called the Dunkirk of America.
After the conception of his plan, Governor Shirley applied to the
British ministry for naval assistance; but, without waiting for
returns, he laid open his designs to the general court of the
colony, having previously required of the members an oath of
secrecy. The plan being thought too great, too hazardous, and
too expensive, it was apparently abandoned; but an honest mem-
ber who performed the family devotions where he lodged, inad-
vertently discovered the secret by praying for the divine blessing
on the attempt. The people approving the project with which
they thus became accidentally acquainted, were clamorous in its
support; it was revived by the court, and after along deliber-
ation the vote was taken which was carried in its favor by a
single vote. Troops were immediately raised by Connecticut,
Rhode Island and New Hampshire to aid those of Massachusetts.
The command of these forces was given to Colonel William
Peppered, a merchant of Maine, who sailed on the 25th of
March, 174"), and arrived at Canso on the 4th of April.

The day before leaving Boston, an express boat, which had
been sent to the West Indies to ask the assistance of Commo-
dore Warren, returned with the intelligence that he had declined
to furnish the aid required; but the resolute colonists rashly
determined to proceed without his co-operation; but subsequently
he received orders from England, and hastened with his squa-
dron to join the colonial armament.

The whole fleet arrived at Chapeau Rouge Bay on the 30th
of April, and its appearance brought to the French the first
intelligence of the meditated attack. Against opposition, the
army effected a landing near the fortress. Col. Vaughn, of New

'26 HISTORY AND GENEALOGY OF THE

Hampshire, conducted a detachment through the woods, and
against all sober calculation, succeeded in planting a batten-
where it commanded the place. For fourteen nights successively
did these hardy veterans perform a drudgery, which, from the
want of roads, would have been impossible for oxen, by drawing
to the battery the cannon from the landing place, two miles away,
through a deep morass. The siege continued for 49 days when
the governor surrendered Louisburg and the island of Cape
Breton to the English forces. When the colonists entered the
place as conquerors, and beheld the strength of the works,
some of them were half frightened at what they had attempted;
and all were amazed at what they had achieved. Peace was pro-
claimed in 1748, and Louisburg, to the grief and mortification of
the colonies, reverted to the French. Its capture, had, however,
done credit to their military prowess, as it had been by far the
most brilliant exploit of the entire war.1

From Litchfield Biography, by Kilbourne :

" North of the ancient towns of Waterbury, Woodbury and
New Milford remained a wilderness after inost of the other parts
of the state were settled. To secure a fee of the soil to the colo-
nists, which at and subsequently to the administration of Sir
Edmund Andros, efforts were made to wrest from us our charter
privileges. The General Assembly granted patents to several
towns ; and as most of Litchfield county was not then embraced
in any townships, the land was granted to the inhabitants of
Hartford and Windsor, as far west as the Housatonic river. All
other parts of the state not included in any townships, when the
danger was over, quietly and without question reverted to the
colony ; but Hartford and Windsor on pretense that it was a bona
fide grant, laid claim to the whole. While the controversy was
pending, Litchfield was incorporated and the government gave
indications of a determination to do right and improve these
lands, then called the Western Lands, for the benefit of the whole
colony, but the leading men of Hartford and Windsor were
determined to give the government no peace till their rights
were acknowledged. Finally wearied out with their importunity,
the General Assembly, after reserving to Litchfield their chartered
rights, ceded the east portion of the territory to Hartford and
Windsor, and those towns relinquished all claim to the western por-

iWillard's Hist. U.S.

JONES FAMILY. 27

tion. The dividing line was Goshen and Norfolk on the west, and
Torringtou, Winchester and Colebrook on the east. Hartford
took for their portion the townships of New Hartford, Win-
chester and Hartland, and Windsor took Barkhamsted, Torring-
ton and Colebrook. Harwinton was divided one-half to each town
and named for the two towns Har-Win-ton. The portion secured
to the government was laid out into townships and rights, which
were sold at auction at the several county seats, and the avails
appropriated originally for school purposes, though afterwards
some part was allowed to be used for ecclesiastical purposes "

The county of Litchfield was erected in October, 1751.

Hartland was incorporated in May, 17(31, and annexed to
Hartford county.

Barkhamsted, and Colebrook, incorporated in October, 1779.

We find all through the history connected with our ances-
tors, careful provision for a public and free education ; which,
when taken into consideration with their surroundings and the
times in which they lived, shows wonderful foresight, and a
realization that education of the masses is the corner stone of
freedom.

Barkhamsted was divided between 104 persons whose names
are on record, and whose taxable property amounted to ,£5275.
The 20,531 acres was divided in proportion to the amount of
property each returned for taxation for the year 1725, and
received his title by "Grant" from the "Proprietors of Windsor."
The bounds to this track are given as bounded : "Easterly on the
town of Simsbury as the same was fixed by Messrs Goodrich,
Primberly and Burnham ; south and west on land belonging to
Hartford proprietors, (New Hartford and Winchester); northerly,
partly on Hartford Proprietors (Plartland), and partly on the
northwest township (Colebrook) belonging to the proprietors
of Windsor."

For a full account, and list of names, see "Barkhamsted
Men who served in the Wars," by L-ee, p. 98.

(It will be borne in mind that Simsbury embraced in its terri-
tory all that land which is now Granby down to 1786, and a
great portion of Canton until 1806.) From the records of land
transfers many of the " Wiudsoi Proprietors" sold their titles,
while from the names of later settlers it would appear that
descendants removed from Windsor and vicinity and settled there.

28 HISTORY AND GENEALOGY OF THE

Previous to the acquisition of the territory by the towns of
Hartford and Windsor, it for more than a hundred years had been
known as the "Greenwoods District" or "Western Lands.''
Probably the name Greenwoods was used as significant of the
large quantities of fir, pine, hemlock, and other evergreens that
flourished upon the rugged hills and mountains, and in its beau-
tiful, but narrow valleys.

The proprietors to whom Barkhamstead was granted com-
menced on the east and west sides of the township, and divided
it into lots east and west one-half mile in length, then a reserva-
tion was made of ten rods for a highway through the township
north and south. Work in this way was for a time followed, but
as it could not be successfully carried out on account of the rug-
ged condition of the lanscape, it was abandoned; and very few, —
if any — of the roads as originally laid out, were ever used for
that purpose. One reservation was made of a road upon each
bank of Morgan river; the West and East Branches so called;
and the West Branch, or Great River. This road reservation
along the river was made so that all the people of the town could
have access to the rivers, and float their timber and logs down to •
Windsor, or wherever a market could be found; and it seems
that every citizen of the town has that right to this day.

Authorities differ as to the exact date when Capt. Israel
Jones settled in Barkhamsted, but it is pretty uniformly agreed
that he was the second permanent settler. Pelatiah Allyn, of
Windsor, was the first, and the record says he settled there, near
the New Hartford line, in 1748 or 9. He resided there alone for
several years, but lived to see the place expand into quite a town,
as he did not die until 1815. Israel Jones settled in 1759, near
the northeast corner of the township upon the eastern slope of
East Mountain. The farm which he by industry and persever-
ance acquired then, has ever since been in the possession of his
direct descendants bearing the name of Jones.

The town of Barkhamsted was not called on for military
duty until 1 774, when the first company was formed in October
by choosing Pelatiah Allyn, captain, and Israel Jones lieutenant.
This was before the incorporation of Barkhamsted as a township.
In January, 1774, a memorial had been presented to the General
Assembly asking for incorporation, which was unanimously neg-
atived by both houses. This memorial is in the handwriting of

A subscription list (bearing date, Barkhamsted, Nov. 12,
A D. 1792), to complete the meeting house, which was com-
menced in 1784, is of interest in showing the means by which
ends were accomplished. It will be remembered that the East
part of the township belonged to East Hartland for ecclesiastical

The present generation has no knowledge as to the interior
of an ancient church, and an accurate description of the inside
arrangement of this venerable structure will be found in ' ' Bark-
hamsted Centennial Celebration." The building was used for
religious as well as occasionally for township purposes until
about 1843 or 44; when a new church was built, and the old one
fell rapidly into decay. It passed through several hands by sale
and purchase, and about 1865 was taken down.

By the courtesy of Hon. Wm. Wallace Lee, of Meriden,
Conn. , we are enabled to give a view of this ancient building.
The view was taken from the southwest, showing the south
front, the door on the right being the main entrance. Directly
in rear, upon the north side, now stands a monument erected by
the townspeople to the memory of Barkhamsted soldiers who
have served in the various wars waged by or against the United
States. Bronze tablets upon the sides give a record of the names,
and it is a noble and enduring tribute to the memory of all Bark-
hamsted's soldiers. Just back, to the north from this is "the
old burying ground," where lie nearly all the pioneers of the

OLD BARKHAMSTED CHURCH.

The same impress which the Puritans left upon the settle-
ments wdiich they made, their sons exerted upon the territory set-
tled by them; and to this day, the Western Reserve stands second
to no section in the orderly arrangement of her civic affairs, or
the intelligence and culture of her citizens. The history of any
settlement is made up from the personal experiences of a few
persons; and it is safe to assume that very few occurred, but
they were shared in some way by each individual in the colony.
No experience can be fully realized until it has been personally
felt; and in reading about the times when pioneers were prepar-
ing the opportunities which we now enjoy, we can but faintly
realize their privations, and the indomitable pluck and persever-
ance which enabled them to surmount the obstacles which
nature had placed in their way.

Capt. Israel Jones was quite a prominent man in Enfield
affairs previous to his settlement at Barkhamsted ; for we find in
the records that he was continuously elected to serve his towns-
men as an officer from 1738 to 1768, after which date (1768) he
appears as one of a committee to manage the affairs of the

Barkhamsted Land Proprietors, and a proprietor in 1772. This
fact does not interfere with the date ( 1759) of his removal to
Barkhamsted, as he continued to hold landed interests in Somers,
and as Barkhamsted was not incorporated until 1779 his mili-
tary and residence interests were not broken from Enfield. A
few extracts from the records will be of interest: "Feb. 12,
" 1771, Dea Nathl. Horton, and Israel Jones Committee of the
Proprietors laid off a tract of land in Somers, to Jonathan and
' David Terry. * * * In all ye above lines allowing one rod

So far as the records show, Captain Jones did not acquire
title to any land in Barkhamsted until 1771. The earliest rec-
ord found is a lease given to him by Simon Baxter*, dated Feb-
ruary 13, 1771, from which is condensed the following:

' ' In consideration of two hundred pounds or the value
thereof in exchange of lands rec'd to my full satisfaction of
Israel Jones of Enfield, in Hartford county, covering One Hun-
dred Acres * * * to hold, use, occupy, possess, and enjoy
until the 3rd day of August A. D. 2761."

The second is a deed given him by Simon Baxter and son,
" for an undivided i and y1^ of several pieces of land, viz. 1st
1% acres: 2d lbyi acres: 3rd 66 acres: This deed bears date
" of Feb. 13, 1771 in the 11th year of the reign of our sovereign
" Lord George the 3rd of Great Britain & King." The third
" is from Simon Baxter and dated exactly like No. 2, and reads

* Simon Baxter turned " Tory," and joined the army of Burgoyne.
He died at Halifax.

What impulse impelled Israel Jones to leave a settled com-
munity, with all its comforts and conveniences for a wTild, rugged
wilderness as Barkhamsted was, does not appear ; so we are left to
conjecture. Perhaps he thought in doing so, he could provide land
for homes for his children better and cheaper than in Enfield.
For some ten or twelve years he leased, or rented, the lands upon
which he lived. It has been shown in what condition the lands of
Barkhamsted w^ere held, and it is quite probable that the terms
upon which the lands were held by the original proprietors was
not satisfactory to him. It is noteworthy, and almost a universal
rule, that the first permanent settlers of a locality leave an
impress upon community that is never totally effaced. And from
this we deduce one of the reasons why Barkhamsted holds the
position it does in the memories and affections of her sons and
daughters ; for, like the children of Israel of old, the descend-
ants of Capt. Israel Jones are scattered, and their homes dot the
United States from the Atlantic to the Pacific, and from the gulf
to the lakes.

Mrs. Jemima Jones was a lineal descendant of Wil-
liam Clark, who came to America on the " Mary and John"
of London, Robert Sayres, master, landing at Boston in May,
1634. William had been a family name with the Clarks ; three
of her ancestors immediately preceding her having borne the
name, and it would seem that she wished to perpetuate it in the
family into which she married. If that was her hope, it was
accomplished, as the record shows the name in ever}7 generation
in that branch of the family to the present day. It is altogether
probable that is why her son, William Clark Jones, was permitted
to live with his grandfather — or other relative — at Lebanon,
Conn. (See personal sketch of William Clark Jones. ) The Clark
family was among the original purchasers of a tract of land,
afterwards named Lebanon. This tract was obtained previous
to 1701, and probably dates about the time of the family set-

was the daughter of Capt. Israel Jones. The records of the
Shaker Society fail to show whether she ever had any children ;
when she joined the society ; or whether any relationship ever
existed between herself and Elijah Billings, who in all proba-

As so many of the descendants of Capt. Israel Jones emi-

then called), extracts from an oration delivered at the Centennial

celebration of the settlement of Hartford, Ohio; and the histori-
cal address of Hartford proper, delivered by Thomas Andrews
Bnshnell, Esq., of Hartford, who stands without a peer as a his
torian of the township, and has kindly submitted his manuscript
for the purpose, will be interesting as well as instructive.

For accuracy and completeness Mr. Bushuell's address is
worthy of being preserved entire; but space forbids and we sub-
mit only such parts as refer to the Jones family. — See No. 121.

Mr. Bushnell said in part:

' 'lyADiES and Gentlemen — It is quite customary for nations,
states and townships even to celebrate the centennial of their
existence. It is a good and wise custom, and it is for this pur-
pose that we meet to-day to revive old memories, to recall some-
thing of our local history, of the lives of our fathers and grand-
fathers, the pioneers of our township. We meet to-day to cele-
brate the centennial of a plain township, one of the units which
comprise the state of Ohio.

"We are practically an old Connecticut community taken up
bodily and transplanted into the wild woods of the Western
Reserve. In 1804, so large a number, nearly a hundred, left
old Hartland, Connecticut, at one time, that the citizens
assembled for a general leave taking, and a sermon was preached
on the occasion. In a number of cases, three and four genera-
tions of one family, rather than be separated, made the long and
tiresome journey, as it must have been, to their new homes
within the township.

" Our township is not classic ground ; no battles have been
fought here, if we except the battles political and theological,
and an occasional record in some justice's court, "judgment,
guilty ; fined $1.15 and costs." Only the story of plain, every
day men and women, who won subsistence from the field around
them, made homes for their descendants, and worshiped God
according to the dictates of their own conscience.

" 1799 to 1899 ! How short a period in the world's history.
Yet how much of progress do we see during the century. The
people of the United states in 1799 were principally settled on
the Atlantic coast, and less in number than some of our states,
to-dav.

36 HISTORY AND GENEALOGY OF THE

"Mostly by purchase and peaceable annexation, our land now
extends from east to west, until like old England, our morning
drum beats around the world. Whether this rapid growth will
be for the best interests of our people, time alone can tell. A
hundred years hence, at our second centennial, the historian will
be better able to judge as to the wisdom of our policy of exten-
sion.

" Let us go back to August 1799. Where are we ? Certainly
not in Hartford. It is No. 5, first range. * * * What of the
past ? A veil of mystery, tradition, and silence hangs over the
Indian race : Their history will never be known. Their annals
were never recorded. The Massasauga tribe were the last to
inhabit this vicinit}7. (See note.)

" * * * In 1799, our township was known as No. 5, first
range, Jefferson county, in the territory of the United States,
northwest of the Ohio river, with mail delivered at, probably,
Pittsburg, or Ft. Mcintosh. How convenient for getting daily
papers.

' ' On the 18th day of August, 1799, near the close of the day,
three toil-worn and weary men might have been seen, each with
knapsack and gun, following the blazed line through the center
•of the township. The shades of night having settled around,
the night was passed under a whitewood tree, standing near the
present residence of Fred. C. Hart. The next da)7 a clearing
was commenced by Edward Brockway, Isaac Jones, and Asahel
Brainard, on the farm east of old Burghill, now owned by Hon.
A. W. Jones, the first tree being cut by Edward Brockway.
* * * Edward Brockway was a soldier of the Revolution, hav-
ing taken part in the battle at Saratoga. He removed his famil3r
here in 1800, and settled near the present residence of James
Burnett, in Orangeville. His farm, — did I say farm, — perhaps
I should call it a wood lot, — lay in the northeast corner of the
township ; and during his residence here, he was bitten by a
rattler and came near losing his life. An Indian cured him,
but he was ever after a sworn enemy to the whole race of
snakes, and usually spent several days even- spring in killing
them on the banks of Brockway run, where the}' made their
winter quarters in large numbers. On the personal list of taxes

for the year 1804, Edward Brockway paid, $IA2*4, the largest
amount of any one in No. 5; William C. Jones, paid $0.92^;.
Isaac Jones, $0.92^; others from $0.25 to $1.05. This will
enable you to compare taxes then, and now. * * *
Asahel Brainard was the first permanent settler within the
bounds of our township, having come with Brockway and Jones
(who returned to Connecticut for their families after having
made a clearing, and sowed a field of wheat). Brainard re-
mained alone in their cabin during the first winter, engaged in
clearing land.

"He married a daughter of Isaac Jones, and settled one-half
mile south from the center, where Fred Kepner now resides. He
built the present residence on the farm and died Feb. 21, 1826,,
aged 49 years. ***** Isaac Jones settled at Burghill,
where Osman Hull now resides. A child of Isaac Jones, named
Sally, was the first one to die in the township. She died of
smallpox Dec. 25, 1801, and was buried near the Hull residence.
His sons, Selden, John and James, were lifelong residents of the
township.

"Of the large number who came in 1804-5 were Asahel Bor-
den and family. ' Uncle Asahel ' and ' Aunt Phebe ' could
not wait for the rest of the emigrants, but came on ahead and
settled on the farm now owned by Dewitt Stewart. With them
came a brother — Sylvester Borden — and their parents, Asahel
and Jemima (Jones) Borden. Asahel, Jr., resided at the location
first chosen for nearly seventy years. He died in 18G9, aged 87 ;
his wife died in 1875, aged 91. They will long be remembered as
social and hospitable pioneers ; the latch string of their log cabin
was always out, and in later years, their residence was as freely
opened to their numerous friends. They outlived all their
pioneer associates. William C. Jones came here from Litchfield,
N. Y., in 1802, locating on lot 27. He was a son of Capt. Israel
Jones ; a soldier of the Revolution and died in 1841, aged 81. His
brothers, Samuel, Thomas, and Col. Israel Jones, were also
soldiers in that war. * * * * *

" Elam Jones came into the township in 1805 and settled first
on lot 12. About 1827, he built the house where Mr. Parsons
now resides, and for some years he was postmaster and hotel
keeper. He had been a school teacher for some years in Con-

necticut and was a man of more than usual education. He died
in 1851. His wife, Sarah (Hyde) Jones, died in 1870, aged 94
years. To her should be given credit for the preservation of
much of our local history. * * * *

The first celebration of our national independence in this place
-was held July 4, 1802, all the inhabitants assembling for that pur-
pose. In 1805, the day was spent by the pioneers in clearing the
common, and was certainly a practical as well as patriotic way of
spending the day. In 1812, the day was celebrated with more
formality at the barn of William C. Jones, now owned by his
grandson, Robert C. Jones. An oration was delivered by Rev.
Harvey Coe, and in 1824, a celebration on a large scale was held
.at the center, George Hallock being the orator of the day.

"Daniel and Mathew Spencer came in 1816 and soon after the
Spencer Band was organized. For years, at all militia musters
they made the music, led the regiments of General Bushnell and
Wilcox when on parade ; and the Independent company, at the
execution of Gardiner. In 1840, they took part in the political
campaign of ' Tippecanoe and Tyler too, with Little Matty Van.'

"In the spring of 1861 'Uncle' Sam Spencer drilled the
boys on the drum and fife, and they again led the lines with the
same tunes our grandfathers knew when they trod on Trenton,
and on Monmouth ground.

" A little later they were beating the long roll at Antietam,
at Gettysburg, and on the plains of Georgia. To-day that same
band is here, playing the same old tunes our fathers knew. At
our second centennial, a hundred years hence, I doubt not, a
Spencer band will be on hand to help celebrate the day, playing
the soul stirring strains of Yankee Doodle.

' ' For the last fifty years our population has increased but
slowly. The sons and daughters of the pioneers, inspired by the
same spirit which led their parents to, leave New England for
Ohio, have been following the Star of Empire westward, until
this township has representation in almost ever}' city and state.
They have been heard in the halls of congress, in the legislatures
of different states, at the bar, and in the pulpit. On the moun-
tain and plain we find them seeking after wealth and fame ;
worthy sons, whom old Hartford claims with pride."

JONES FAMILY. 39

The oration delivered upon this occasion by Hon. A. W.
Jones, whose great grandfather was one of the pioneer settlers
at Hartford and who.se effort to provide for the happiness and
comfort of future generations is noted in its proper places, is so
replete with information that it is difficult to secure, and is also
so intimately connected with several generations of so many
branches of the family, that, against his expressed judgment of
its fitness, I have given a part of it a place here. As the years
roll by we are prone to lose sight of many facts that have a
potent influence on our present surroundings, and we accept
their results as a matter of course, without asking for the source
from which they come. To illustrate. Recently I met a very
intelligent, and, apparently well informed gentlemen from York
State who asked me, " Why is northeastern Ohio called the
Western Reserve ? ' '

The speaker said in part :

We have met to-day to celebrate the 100th anniversary of
the settlement of Hartford township. I think I may, without
trenching upon the field of my friend whom you have so well
selected as historian, for a short time draw aside the curtain that
obscures the past, and give some attention to the early history of
the state and the conflicts which made our happy homes and
cheerful surroundings possible.

The discovery of a new world with the fabulous stories of its
wealth and treasares set the world agog. It was like the fall of
a star in the ocean, whose ripples expanded to the four corners
of the earth ; men became heralds wild with enthusiasm ; and
nations became speculators more ferocious than the " bulls and
bears' ' of the arena, the stock exchange of New York or the
wheat pit of Chicago.

While but a few years before, Columbus having become
imbued with the idea — as he said by philosophy, but more prob-
ably from his associations with the early Norse navigators — that a
western continent existed, and was anxious to secure assistance
to go and find it, he applied in vain to most of the courts of
Europe ; and only after long supplication was he able to induce

Note. — As members of this family were always at the forefront of civili-
zation, it is proper to consider this history as a part of the result of
their labors.— Parker.

40 HISTORY AND GENEALOGY OF THE

Ferdinand and Isabel to furnish him with a small fleet for the
purpose ; yet when it became known that the land had been found,
nearly every court dispatched its fleets and anxiously awaited the
harvest of golden treasures. Their idea seemed to be that the
new found continent was a waif in the great ocean owned by
none; but subject to the will, control and ownership of the first
possessor, and that sovereignty and ownership of soil ran in par-
allel lines, in other words, that the owner of the soil had the
right to govern the inhabitants. But it is a little singular to us,
who generally concede the discovery by Columbus in 1492, that
history fails to inform us of any claim ever made by Spain to any
lands within the present boundaries of Ohio or the Northwest
Territory.

THE TERRITORIAL CONTROVERSY.

The controversy in reference to the territory embraced
within these boundaries seems to have been shared almost exclu-
sively by England and France. While England seems to have
claimed everything for herself, from the frozen regions of the
north to the torrid zone of the south, France was more mod-
erate in her demands.

In 1662, Charles II granted to James, Duke of York, and his
associates, all the territory between the parallels of latitude
which now abound the present state of Connecticut, from the
Atlantic to the Pacific ocean. Like grants were made to other
colonies. It will thus be readily seen that the title to Ohio was
badly in dispute. Warfare continued until the French were com-
pelled to admit the overpowering strength of England, and by
the treaty of Paris in 1763 it ceded sovereignty to England over
all the land east of the Mississippi river. This for the time set-
tled the title to the Northwest Territory, and made it perfect in
Great Britain ; but it was of very short duration, for thirteen
3^ears later, on the 4th day of July, 1776, the liberty bell in Inde-
pendence hall rang forth the glad acclaim that the Declaration
of Independence had been signed and a new nation born, claim-
ing right of soil and sovereignty over this territory. For seven
years the conquest was waged, during which time those old
patriots of the Revolution periled their all in defense of liberty
and equality.

JONES FAMILY. II

THE REVOLUTIONARY FATHERS.

France came to our rescue and aided in the conflict, and not-
withstanding all this, for months and years the result hung in
the balance, but the determination and patriotism of the fathers
of the Revolution preferring death to submission, knew no such
word as fail, and the mother country was compelled to recognize
the victory of the colonies, and to confirm it by the treaty of
Paris on September 3, 1783.

Congress strongly appealed to the several states which had
asserted claims to the Western territory to avert the danger that
threatened the common cause by liberal cessions for the common
benefit. New York was first to listen to these appeals. The
last tardy and reluctant sacrifice of state pretensions was made by
Connecticut, and while she was not dealing in wooden nutmegs
or clocks she seemed desirous of making a little better bargain
than any of the others. Perhaps it is inherent in the Yankee
disposition to want the best bargains. Slowly she authorized
her delegates to make the concessions, but with this reservation,
— she made the east line of her concession parallel with the west
line of Pennsylvania, but 120 miles west therefrom, — this
reserved to Connecticut what now constitutes the counties of Ash-
tabula, Trumbull, the north ten townships of Mahoning, Lake,
Geauga, Portage, Cuyahoga, fourteen townships of Ashland,
comprising 3,366,921 acres.

In 1783, when the treaty of Paris was signed, Ohio was
almost an nnbroken forest, inhabited by the red man and the
wild beast; its only road, the rude trail of the Indians ; its only
shelter was nature's protection and the frail tepee ; its rivers
useless except for the cultivation of fish, and on which to float
the canoe ; the soil was uncultivated and unproductive.

TITLE OF THE INDIANS.

The Indian title to the land where we now are was granted
by a treaty made with the Six Nations at Fort Stanwix,
October 27, 1784 (Rome, N. Y.). Notwithstanding these trea-
ties the Indians were slow to leave their homes and hunting
grounds and many were the conflicts between them and the early
settlers. One which will ever be memorable to our people wTas
the killing of Captain George and Spotted John by McMahon and

42 HISTORY AND GENEALOGY OF THE

Story near Salt Spring in Weathersfield township, and but for the
sagacity of Col. Hillman, Judge Pease and some others it would
have resulted in the destruction of all the whites in the neighbor-
hood. McMahon was tried for the murder under the law of the
whites, by jury -the bench being occupied by Return J. Meigs,
Benjamin Ives, whites, and Captain Peters, Indian. The result
of the trial was an acquittal to the full satisfaction of Judge Capt.
Peters and thus peace was restored.

For the purpose of organizing government over this terri-
tory, congress passed the ordinance July 13, 1787, which is an
example of legislation worthy of the imitation of all succeeding
assemblies. The ordinance provided laws for the descent and
distribution of property and for the sale and conveyance of real
estate ; and in short a codification of the common law. But the
greatest provisions of that great instrument were those which
granted religious freedom and toleration ; the education of the
people ; and that which forever excluded slavery, and sacredly
dedicated the territory to freedom. For the purpose of enabling
settlers to acquire lands, congress on' July 28, 1787, passed an
act authorizing the board of the treasury to sell lands but reserving
the sixteenth section in each township or fractional township for
school purposes, and the twenty-ninth section for religious pur-
poses was subsequently confined to the purchase by the Ohio
company and John Cleves Symmes. Some years ago in an exami-
nation of the Ohio statutes I came across certain provisions of
law in reference to " the ministerial lands," and I confess that I
was somewhat surprised with the idea that we had a union of
church and state in Ohio, and was curious to know what appro-
priation was made of the funds arising from the ministerial lands,
but upon examination in the office of the auditor of state, dis-
covered that the funds were made part of the irreduciable debt of
the state, the interest from which is annually appropriated to the
common school fund, so that my fears of a union of church and
state were quieted.

Under this act the Ohio company made its purchase bounded
southerly by the Ohio river ; westerly by the Scioto : easterly by
the western boundary of the seventh range of townships to the
northerly boundary of the tenth township from the Ohio ; thence
by due west line to the Scioto. This tract was supposed to and did
on survey embrace substantially 1,500,000 acres of land, and the

.IONICS FAMILY. 13

price was $1 .00 per acre. From the records of the Ohio company
it appears that at a meeting of the company held at Bracket's
tavern in Boston on November 23, 1787, it was ordained "That
four surveyors be employed under the direction of the superin-
tendent hereinafter named ; that 22 men shall attend the sur-
veyors ; that there be added to the number 20 men, including
six boat builders, four house carpenters, one blacksmith, and
nine common workmen, in all 48 men ; that the boat builders
shall proceed on Monday next, and the surveyors rendezvous at
Hartford on the first of January next, on their way to the Mus-
kingum; that'the boat builders and men with the surveyors be pro-
prietors in the company ; that their tools, and one hoe, and one
axe to each man, and 30 pounds weight of baggage shall be car-
ried in the company's wagons, and that the subsistence of the
men on their journey must be furnished by the company.

SUBJECT TO MILITARY RULE.

After other details this order directs that "each man shall
furnish himself with a good small arm, bayonet, six flints, a
powder horn and pouch, priming wire and brush, half a pound
of powder, one pound of balls, and one pound of buckshot, and
shall be subject to the orders of the superintendent and those he
may appoint in any kind of business they shall be employed in,
as house building, erecting fences, clearing, boat-building, and
surveying, as for land and planting or otherwise, for promoting
the settlement, they shall be subject to military command, dur-
ing the time of their employment."

In pursuance of this order the men wrere employed, and
under the superintendency of General Rufus Putnum the}r left
Hartford, Conn., on or about January 1, 1788, and started on
their journey, arriving at Marietta on April 7, 1788, about noon,
establishing the first permanent settlement in Ohio.

The next purchase made was the John Cleves Symmes pur-
chase of 1,250,000 acres situate along the Miami river ; but this
purchase was subsequently very much reduced in quantity
through the inability of Symmes to make full payment, the gov-
ernment consenting to give as much as was paid for.

In December, 1788, and probably on December 28th, Judge
Symmes, with a party of GO men, landed at what is now the foot
of Sycamore street, in the city of Cincinnati, and began the

44 HISTORY AND GENEALOGY OF THE

second permanent settlement in Ohio. He first called his embryo
city Loisantville, but in deference to the wishes of Gov. St. Clair,
it was changed to Cincinnati, in February of 1790.

This comprises all of the direct grants of land by congress,
with one exception ; under the act to which I have referred to a
comract was made with the Scioto company, as it was called,
which contemplated the purchase of a tract of land estimated to
contain 3,000,000 to 3,500,000 acres, but as no payments were
made it only amounted to a " right of pre-emption," or rather an
option. While this contract was in force, in June of 1788, one
Joel Barlow went to Paris with the purpose of making sales to
the French people. At first he had very poor success, but early
in 1789 he fell in with one William Playfair (by name), whom
Barlow described as an " Englishman of a bold and enterprising
spirit, and a good imagination." Together they printed and put
out a pamphlet in which they described their property ; an
extract being as follows :

" A climate wholesome and delightful, frost even in winter
almost unknown, and a river called by eminence the beautiful,
and abounding in excellent fish of vast size. Noble forests, con-
sisting of trees that spontaneously produce sugar, and a plant
that yields ready-made candles ; venison in plenty, the pursuit
of which is uninterrupted by wolves, foxes, lions or tigers. A
couple of swine will mulptily themselves a hundred fold in two
or three years, without taking an}- care of them. No taxes to
pay, or military services to perform."

LANDS FOR THE FRENCH.

With prospects so luring, it is not wonderful that 500
ignorant and uninformed Frenchmen were induced to seek their
fortunes in the New W7orld, but when they landed at Gallipolis
how changed the scene— no shelter, no food and with nothing to
make them comfortable, and worse than all, surrounded with
wild beasts, and wilder Indians. Under these circumstances
congress made a grant to them of 24,000 acres, the only consid-
eration being a settlement of three years upon the lands before
receiving a deed. The result was many died, some moved to
other places, and a few settled upon the French grant, and a few
laid out the present city of Gallipolis.

JONES FAMILY. 4-",

The foundation of nearly all the claimed title is bottomed
upon what civilization has been pleased to call "the right of
discovery." And the apologist quickly suggests that this continent
being unknown in civilized Europe, Columbus, Americas Vespucci,
and other navigators, fitted out fleets and sailing westward, dis-
covered it, and therefore the right. Bnt, the answer to all this
is that it was already possessed by Indian tribes, with apparently
as much right as the Spaniards had to Spain. By a parity of
reasoning, if the chief of some of those tribes had gone upon a
voyage of discovery and had sailed into the port of Liverpool, it
would have been new to him, and therefore the owner by " right
of discovery."

But again it is suggested that England, France and Spain
were civilized nations, and these tribes were only barbarians,
therefore the right. This argument followed up to its legitimate
conclusions is that because the people of the United States are
more civilized than the Mexican, therefore, with the torch in one
hand and civilization in the other, we may invade, possess and
hold Mexico. It need not stop here, but let the test be applied,
and Mr. Truly Good Man becomes the owner of his neighbor's
farm.

THE FIRST GOVERNMENT.

Soon after the adoption of the ordinance of July 13, 1787,
General Arthar St. Clair, who enjoyed the full confidence of
Washington, was appointed governor and commander-in-chief
of the Northwest territory. Samuel Holdea Parsons, James
Varnum, and John Armstrong were appointed judges, and
Winthrop Sargent secretary Mr. Armstrong declining the
appointment, John Cleves Symmes was appointed in his place.
On July 9, 1788, they arrived at Marietta and established there
the seat of government for the territory.

The governor issued his proclamation calling an election,
and directing the representatives to meet at Cincinnati, on
September 16, 1799, but for want of railroads and means of
transportation (as I suppose) it was not until September 24, 1799,
that a quorum met and organized. This was the first legislative
body in Ohio.

This session was protracted until the 19th day of December,
when Governor St. Clair, thinking probably that the legislature

46 HISTORY AND GENEALOGY OF THE

was doing more harm than good, prorogued it, and sent the
members home. I have sometimes thought that if that power
still remained in the governor that it might be used for a good
purpose.

Shortly after the adjournment of that legislature, congress
passed an act, dividing the territory by line drawn from the
mouth of the Kentucky river to Fort Recovery, thence north-
ward to the territorial line. East of this line the government
already established was continued, while west another substan-
tially similar was established. This act fixed the eastern seat of
government at Chillicothe, subject, however, to the pleasure of
the legislature. By the pleasure of the legislature the seat of
government remained at Chillicothe until the session of 1809-10,
when an act was passed removing it to Zanesville, where it
remained until 1818, when it was removed "to a point on the
east bank of the Scioto river opposite Franklinton," since known
as Columbus.

A constitutional convention assembled at Chillicothe on the
first day of November, 1802, and on November 27, the constitu-
tion was ordered to be engrossed, and on the 29th, it was read,
ratified and signed by the members of the convention. It was
never referred to the people for their approbation, but became
the fundamental law of the state by the action of the convention
alone. With the constitution as its organic act, Ohio was by
congress formally admitted into the sisterhood of states early in
1803, and its first state legislature convened on March 1, 1803,
and on March 3, 1803, the two houses met in joint session to
canvass the votes cast for governor, and after completing the
work it reported that 4564 votes had been cast for Edward Tiffin,
for governor, and none against him. Ninety-three years later,
1896, the electors of Ohio cast more than a million of votes.

THE WESTERN RESERVE.

It will be remembered that the original grant by Charles the
II to James, Duke of York, which is the Connecticut patent, in
effect granted all west to the Pacific ocean. Subsequent grants
were made in conflict with this grant ; for instance, the grant to
William Penn had no western boundary ; the result was that
Connecticut under the patent to James, Duke of York, claimed to
run through New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, and indefinitely

JONES FAMILY. 47

toward the setting sun. Under this claim, Connecticut sold to
purchasers 17 townships near the Susquehanna river, in Penn
sylvaiiia and organized them into a civil township called West-
moreland, and attached it for judicial and other purposes to
Litchfield county in Connecticut. Representatives from that
town sat in the legislatures of Connecticut, and took part in its
proceedings.

Pennsylvania protested but without avail until she finally
sent an army and expelled the invaders.

It is probable that Connecticut rightfully claimed that noth-
ing was settled by that case, except her claims to lands in the
state of Pennsylvania, leaving her right to lands west from Penn-
sylvania unimpaired. At least she clung to it, and as we have
seen compelled the Uuited States to recognize her right to more
than three million acres in the best part of Ohio. Not only did
she get all she asked, but in running the lines, she began on the
west line of Pennsylvania, one-half mile south of where she really
claimed, running thence west to the west line, she got the better
of Uncle Sam by a strip one-half mile wide and one hundred and
twenty miles long, in area 38,400 acres. The finger board of
prudence says, Look out when you trade with a Yankee !

But Connecticut had now got her land and in true New
England style, in the legislature, in May 1795, went at it to
reduce it to money. But before she proceeded she patriotically
aud generously cut off one-half million acres (now the counties
of Huron and Erie) and gave them to those who had suffered by
fire during the war of revolution. For the sale of the residue,
she appointed a committee of one from each county to receive
proposals and enter into a contract for sale. This committee
consisted of John Treadwell, Hartford county ; James Wads-
worth, New Haven county ; Marion Wait, New London county ;
William Edmonds, Fairfield county ; Thomas Grosvenor, Wind-
ham county ; Aaron Austin, Litchfield county ; Elijah Hubbard,
Middlesex county ; Slyvester Gilbert, Tolland county. The
members of this committee entered into separate contracts with
sundry individuals iu the aggregate, amounting to $1,200,000
and deeds were made to the purchasers as tenants in common, in
the same proportion as their payments were to the whole con-
sideration.

48 HISTORY AND GENEALOGY OF THE

THE CONNECTICUT EAND COMPANY

was composed of 50 individuals, interested in the purchase in
different sums, Sylvester Griswell being the smallest investor, in
the sum of $1,683, and Oliver Phelps the largest, in the sum of
$168,185. They effected an organization under the name afore-
said, appointing a board of directors and other officers. Subse-
quently the entire Western Reserve was conveyed to John Cald-
well, Jonathan Brice and John Morgan, as trustees. General
Moses Cleaveland was appointed the surveyor, and in charge of
that work he left Connecticut some time in the spring of 1796 com-
ing west by the way of Buffalo and landed at Conneaut on the 4th
of July, 1796. ^Tradition informs us that he, with the balance of
his party, soared the American eagle at Conneaut in a great cele-
bration. He arrived at Cleveland on the 23rd of Jul}-, 1796.
The survey was finally completed and the question then was as
to the sale or disposal of the property. After a good deal of con-
sideration it was determined to make partition of the lands, thus
giving to each member of the association lands in proportion to
his money. But before that was done it was determined to
equalize, or rather to make a division of the lands east of the
Cuyahoga river, and for that purpose it was agreed that it should
be divided into 93 parts, each part representing $12,903.23
of the purchase money ; that when so arranged in parts it
should be drawn from a box. The committee appointed to
apart it made a very careful examination, and at a meeting held
at Hartford, Conn., on January 26, 1797, made a very elaborate
report. Where they reported a township as a full share they
simply said that such township should constitute a share, but
if, taking into consideration the location, the quality of the
soil, and its real value in their opinion was not equal to a share,
they added to it land which had already been surveyed into lots
in the towns farther west. And, as we now know something of
the several townships, it may be a little curious to know
something of how that division was made. Poland, being the
township No. 1 on the first range, the}' commenced with that,
and said that it was a good township, and therefore it needed no
addition, but they proceeded on through the several ranges and
made additions as follows :

Coitsville 230 acres, Hubbard 928 acres, Brookfield 1,345
acres, Hartford 0, Vernon 1,963 acres, Kinsman 1,857 acres,

Weathersfield 1,584 acres; Howland 1,657 acres, Bazetta 6,857

Fifth range — Berlin 2,788 acres; Milton 2,931 acres; New-
ton 1,859 acres, Braceville 8,635 acres, Southington 2,747 acres,
Farmingtou 1,683 acres, Mesopotamia 3,648 acres, Windsor
3,350 acres, Hartsgrove 6,732 acres, Trumbull 6,179 acres.

After this equalization had been made, on the 31st day of
January, 1798, the parties proceeded to draw their several shares.

On the thirty-second draft James Johnson and others drew
Johnson; on the thirty-fourth draft, Timothy Burr and others
drew Vienna; on the thirty-eighth draft Gideon Granger and
others drew Gustavus; on the fifty -eighth draft Samuel Fowler
drew Fowler township ; on the seventy-second draft Judge
Samuel Hinckley drew Brookfield ; on the seventy-third draft
Uriel Holmes, Jr., and Kphriam Root drew Hartford ; on the
eightieth draft John Kinsman, Tracey and Coit, Zephenia Swift,
Christopher Leffingwell drew Coitsville; on the eighty-first draft,
John Kinsman, Uriah Tracey and Joseph Coit drew Kinsman;
on the ninety-second draft William Shephard, William Wetmore
and Jeremiah Wilcox drew Vernon, and so the draft proceeded
until ninety-three shares had been drawn.

A second draft was made in 1802, and a third in 1807, and
a fourth in 1809, these several drafts subsequently .disposing of
the entire property of the Connecticut Land Company, and plac-
ing it in the hands of the individual proprietors, and according
to their several shares.

53 HISTORY AND GENEALOGY OF THE

It is probable that the first settlement made on the Western
Reserve was at Youngstown, and by John Young, who brought
with him his surveyor, Alfred Wolcott, as early as 1797.

TRUMBULL COUNTY.

The Western Reserve was organized under the territorial
government in the year 1800 as Trumbull county, with Warren
as the county seat. The first court of common pleas and quarter
sessions was held there on August 25, 1800. At that court the
county was divided into townships for civil purposes.

FIRST SETTLEMENT.

The lands, in the Western Reserve, east of the mouth of the
Cuyahoga river being now held by individual proprietors each
went forward in his own way to make disposition of his lands
While some was probably sold for money, a large part was dis-
posed of by trading it for improved lands in Connecticut. About
1799 the purchasers began making their arrangements to- leave
their old homes in Connecticut preparatory to settling in their
new ones in the wilds of Ohio. The big wagon was brought out,
a canvass top arrangement for shelter, the furniture was loaded
in; the provisions, not only for the trip, but to serve them for a
time after they should arrive at destination, and last, mother and
the little ones found a place. And, when father had shouldered
his trusty rifle, and the last tearful good bye had been said, the
start was made. And what a " good bye " it was ! Families were
being divided with no expectation of ever again meeting this side
of the golden shore; the perils and dangers of an unbroken
forest, infested with wild beasts and more savage tribes
were to be encountered and subdued. The pleasures and oppor-
tunities of home and civilization were to be exchanged for the
perils and privations of barbarity. It is not easy to understand
how a strong man, eager for wider possessions, could decide to
make such a change, but when you think of the tender feelings
of a mother, anxious little ones, we almost shudder at the
thought.

I fancy that I see them on their winding way, slowly pursu-
ing their way, along bad roads, fording streams, camping by the
wayside at night, and long before their journey's end, reaching

.JONES FAMILY. 5]

the line of unbroken forests, with no road, and only a blazing
upon the trees to mark their course, and with no friendly hand
to assist, them over their constantly besetting difficulties or protect
them from surrounding" dangers.

I fancy that I see them reach their new home, and what a
home it was! No shelter! No provisions for the coming winter,
and with scarcely a place of supply. The lowing of the domestic
cattle had been exchanged for the barking of the wolf and the
growl of the savage beast, the kind greetings of friends and
loved ones for the brutal treachery of the wild Indians.

But, braving the dangers, enduring the fatigues and priva-
tions, with indomitable energy and self-sacrifice, they came and
they conquered and we are to-day enjoying the fruit and blessings
of their heroism. Well may we say blessed is the memory of those
noble, heroic fathers and mothers, and we should be ungrateful
indeed did we not keep green their memories.

These people brought with them a character as spotless as
ermine, and worthy of the highest respect and veneration.
Many of them were fresh from the battlefields of the Revolution,
fully inbred with the doctrines of the Declaration of Independ-
ence. They believed in the equality of all men before the law,
despising the idea of blue blood, and the divine right of kings.
Their patriotism was only measured by their power and ability to
serve and suffer for the flag they loved so well; and they loved
and revered all which that flag stood for; as they had proved by
their valor on many a hard fought battle field from Lexington to
Yorktown.

They brought with them to the forests of the Western
Reserve a reverence and love for the Christian religion, worthy
of the puritanism of New England. Not only did they cherish
the precepts of love, kindness and charity contained in the New
Testament, but they clung to the ceremonies, sacraments and
command of the Old Testament Scriptures, regarding each as an
inspiration to be obeyed fully and completely.

Their morality, temperance and sobriety were of those pro-
nounced types that would brook no departure from the most rigid
rules.

With strong arms and willing hands they crushed giant for-
ests, made fruitful fields and reared happy homes. Through
their influences churches and school houses were reared at each

52 HISTORY AND GENEALOGY OF THE

four corners, and factories and work shops in evety valley and
upon every hillside.

Through their labors the Western Reserve has a reputation
for intelligence, morality, industry, and Christian character, sec-
ond to none, and known to the civilized world.

With genuine pride we may point to them, as our fathers
and our mothers, and bless and cherish their memory for their
many noble, heroic, patriotic and Christian virtues. Reverently
may a nation rise up and call them blessed.

THE FAMILY OF SAMUEL JONES, OF BARK-
HAMSTEAD, CONN.

No. 48.

Samuel Jones lived upon the farm which was settled by his
father, and supported his aged parents during their declining
years. It is evident that he was a man of thrift and devoted his
energies to the support of his family, which developed into
worthy citizens. The time in which he lived was a trying one
for all; for property, as well as life, were placed upon "Liberty's
Altar. ' ' His descendants have always retained possession of the
"old home," and the place is the "Mecca" of all the descendants
of his father, Capt. Israel Jones.

Elam Jones was a man who had acquired a more than ordi-
nary education for that day. He had received private instruc-
tion from Rev. Aaron Church, of Hartland, Conn., in addition to
the education furnished by the schools of the neighborhood, and
for several years previous to his emigration had practiced the
profession of teaching. In 1828 he built the first public house at
the center of Hartford, O.; was for many years postmaster and
town clerk, and in early life practiced surveying. As he emi-
grated in 1805 he shared all the privations incident to pioneer
life, finding in his wife a noble and loving companion, who with
rare ability seconded his every effort; and of her it can truthfully
be said, "Her children arise up and call her blessed; her husband
also, and he praiseth her."

Samuel Jones was (me of those quiet, unobtrusive men whose
influence was felt rather than heard. Fearless in integrity and un-
wavering in honesty, he wTas a person whose judgment was often
appealed to, and whose advice it was safe to follow.

With a wife and five children —the eldest not yet seven
years old — he started from Hartland, Conn., for his new home in
the west, Sept. 10, 1811. Shortly after his arrival in Ohio he
settled upon a farm where he continued to reside until after the
death of his wife, in 1863, when his declining days were passed
with his children. He died May 16, 1880, aged 98 years, 10
months, 17 days, respected and venerated by all who had known
him during his long life. His wife was a sister of Hon. Titus*
and Col. Richard Hayes. Col. Richard commanded the troops
raised in this part of the Reserve in the war of 1812.

An anecdote well illustrates "Uncle Sam's" (as he was famil-
iarly called) thrift. The children had been sent to a neighbor's to
ask permission to pick some elderberries on their,place. Permis-
sion was granted with the remark that " If Mr. Jones wasn't so
shiftless, he would raise his own elderberries."

His children grew up an honor to their parents, and took an
active interest in the progress of the township. Of the sons,
Linus, Flavel, Anson and Samuel, each served as justices of the
peace; while of his grandsons, Rollin T. and Flavel E., each
have filled the same office. There was a pronounced musical
talent in the family, which coupled with their good voices, made
them quite an acquisition to any community.

family of Amasa Hayes, who m. Ruth Jones, Samuel's sister.

The farm upon which Mr. Jones settled is still owned and

Examiner in Equity. In L882, was elected judge of Onondaga
county for a term of six years, and in 1888 re-elected with no
opposition from his opposing political party, thus being in
service for twelve consecutive years. In 1895, he was nominated
by Governor Morton, and confirmed by the state senate as one
of three commissioners to revise the .statutes of the state ; and
soon after was appointed in the same manner, one of the commis-
sioners to revise the code of civil procedure ; both of which
offices he still holds. He delivered a " Master's Oration " at the
commencement at Hamilton College in 1861, receiving a degree
of A. M. at that time ; and in 1895, the degree of L. L. D. was
conferred ; and as a lecturer and author, his name is familiar to
the public. In 1880, he wrote and published " Camps and
Tramps in the Adirondack^, " and " Grayling Fishing in North-
ern Michigan ; a Record of Summer Vacations in the Wilder-
ness," followed in 1881 by " Sconset Cottage Life ; a Summer
on Nantucket Island. ' ' He has prepared for publication a
*' Genealogy of the Northrup Family in America," and has
nearly completed '' Slavery in New York ; a Historical Sketch."
Mr. Northrup is, politically a Republican ; religiously, a Presby-
terian ; and his pen has contributed to the moulding of opinions
and practices in that body. He married, November 24, 1863,
Eliza S. , eldest daughter of Thomas B. Fitch, of Syracuse and
to them have been born three sons and two daughters, all having
received liberal educations, and living, except one son. Mr.

land, Conn., in 1804. His mother was a daughter of Capt.
Nehemiah Andrews, who was a descendant from " Mr. William
Andrews, the schoolmaster of Hartford, Conn." He learned
the trade of edge tool making with Linus Parker, of Kinsman,
and began life for himself at Austinburg (Eagleville), O. After
a time there, and at Kinsman, he settled at Hartford (where he
passed the balance of his life) and erected a factory in which he
followed his trade, and at one time every tool in the factory was
made by his own hands, including anvils, vise, screw plates, trip-
hammer etc. , and it was his pride that he could make or repair
any tool which was constructed from iron or steel, no matter how
large or small. His factory was destroyed by fire in 1859, after
which he retired from active business. Honest, conscientious,

George Hezlep settled in Gustavus, Ohio, and for may years
kept a general store. He was a strong anti-slavery man, and
had a place always in readiness to secrete a fugitive slave, which
he was often called upon to do.

Quick, bright, and active, he proved himself ready for an
emergency, and no person conducted to him for shelter was ever
returned to servitude from his care. He removed to St. Paul,
Minn., where he remained for a short time, but eventually
became one of the fathers of St. Peter, where his last years were
passed in active pursuits connected with the advancement of that
young and rising city. He made a careful study of law, was
elected justice of the peace, and succeeded in securing more

disposition, he proved a loving husband, a good father, and a

Hon Lucian C. Jones' early education was acquired at dis-
trict and select schools, and the Western Reserve College at
Hudson, O. Upon leaving college he studied medicine, attend-
ing a course of lectures at Columbus Medical College in Wash-
ington, D. C. , and reading under the precepts of Professor
Sewell. While in Washington he served as correspondent of
the New York Tribune, reporting the exciting incidents of those
tr}'ing times that culminated in the civil war. After taking
his degree, he practiced as a physician in his native town for a
short time, and later, in deference to his father's wishes, took up
the study of law, being admitted to practice, together with H. C.
Ranuey and M. D. Legget, in 1854. In 1862, in company with
Ezra B. Taylor, of Ravenna, he removed to Warren and formed
the law firm of Taylor & Jones, which existed until 1876, when
Judge Taylor went on the bench. Subsequently he was associ-
ated with the present judge, T. I. Gilmer, and later T. H. Gil-
mer, his surviving partner. Mr. Jones represented the twenty-
third state senatorial district as state senator from 1872 to 1876.
He was a " retained attorney " for the X. Y. P. & O. Railway-
Co. from its inauguration, and held numerous other positions of
honor and trust during his life, which was one of great industry,
strict integrity and persistent study, and which secured a merited
reward in a large and profitable clientage. In politics he was an
earnest Republican "in the truest sense of the term, and an ardent
advocate of every form of useful education. He possessed a
most comprehensive knowledge of historical events and literature
and maintained the habit of keeping abreast of the times in cur-
rent matters and progress to a remarkable degree.

Linus Hayes Jones was born in Barkhamsted, and, as a child,
emigrated to Ohio with his father's family in 1811. A common
school education of the tithes was all the advantage he received
aside from personal effort. In December, 1824, he commenced
teaching school, an occupation which he followed for eight con-
secutive winters ; after which he taught singing schools in winters
for several years, his summers being employed on the farm. He
was a ver}r successful dairyman, and the record of state and
county fairs show that he received his full proportion of premi-
ums on the fruit of his dairy. He occupied the position of a
captain in the militia until it was disbanded ; filled almost every
office within the gift of his townsmen, and during his whole life
was very active in the promotion of advantages for a good and
free education.

Flavel Jones died comparatively a young man. A prominent
neighbor said of him: "Probably no man in my history retains
such a hold on my memory as Flavel Jones. * * * He was
the only man I ever found who was unselfish, and was actuated
in all he did by right motives. His intelligence was far in
advance of his day. Sound on all public questions, had he lived
there is no doubt but he would have filled important places in

Although for several years Horace F. Giddings lived in
Cherry Valley, upon a farm adjoining Wayne township, his social
and religious interests were always identified with the latter
township, where he resided the principal part of his life, and
where he was interested in managing a large dairy. In his active
days cheese was all made at home upon the farm, and there was
a close strife between himself and the neighboring dairymen as
to which could market the best product. Between one of his
neighbors — a Mr. Andrews — his brother-in-law, Linus Jones,
and himself the strife was an even one, victor}' sometimes light-
ing upon one, sometimes upon the product of the other. Mr.
Giddings was a public spirited man, loyal to the core; com-
manded a drill compau}7 during the days of the civil war; was a
deacon of the church to which his f amity belonged, and was ably
supported in every good work by his wife, who was a truly noble,
industrious woman. .

Anson Jones was a successful farmer and acquired a compe-

was next north from his brother Linus, upon the Hayes road, and
for more than a mile the land upon the east side of that road was
owned by his father, his brother Linus and himself. Quiet in
demeanor, attentive to his business and of good judgment, he was

Samuel Jonts followed farming until after the death of his
first wife. Some time after that occurred, he sold his farm and
traveled as a wholesale salesman. After his second marriage he
commenced merchandising at the center of Wayne, in which
business he was successful, and accumulated a competence.
Selling out to his son, Willis (who for a time had been in com-
pany with him and learned the business), he removed to Conneaut,
O., in 1883, to spend his declining days quietly. Besides several
minor offices, he has been elected justice of the peace several
times by his townsmen, and the voters of the county have
elected him to fill the office of infirmary director for over five
years, and county commissioner two full terms of three years

plateau, from which }-ou can look twenty miles eastward to the
horizon, which bounds the valley of the Connecticut, over the
intermediate hills and terraces which fill up the varied expanse.
I shall never forget the impression which the prospect from this
place made upon me as its glory was first revealed under the
light of the rising sun in midsummer— the dark shadows be-
tween, that were first shortened, then illumined, and finally dis-
sipated by the all subduing light ; the line of mist that marked
the course of the Connecticut, lying low at first as if clinging to
its home, then rising in collected majesty till it hung like a
canopy over the dwelling place which it was loth to leave. Here
was a home well fitted to nourish noble thoughts, to move to ele-
vated and poetic feeling, and to stimulate to large and generous
purposes. The farm was lonely — there being no village in the
neighborhood ; it was large, and its yield was generous for that
region, but only at the cost of constant care and unremitting
labor in the summer, and of bold exposure in the long winter.
The latter involved perpetual watchfulness to provide the neces-
sary food and fuel for man, with protection and nourishment for
animals, as well as an unremitting warfare with pitiless winds
and accumulating snowdrifts, and it slowly ended with an im-
patient waiting for the delaying spring.

Here our friend passed his childhood and youth, in a family
that was plain and simple in its ways, but in no ways stinted in
its resources— for the family was prominent in community — a
family in which God was honored, and education highly esteemed,
and refined and kindly sentiments were fostered. In 1827 he
entered Yale College as freshman, graduating in 1831 ; after
which he taught nearly two years in a then well known school at
New London. From May, 1833, till August, 1835, he studied
theology in the seminary at Yale. In August, 1834, he was elected
tutor and served for a year in that office. He was licensed to
preach May 26, 1835 ; married in September, 1835, after which on
account of the delicate health of his wife he went south and
west, and spent six months in Union Theological Seminary, Ya. ;
and preached for a time for a church in the neighborhood of Cin-
cinnati. He returned to Connecticut in 1836, and after
mature consideration accepted a call from the church at South-
ington to become its pastor, and was ordained and installed June
28, 1837. Here he passed his life, and died " in the harness " in

Hon. Edwin P. Jones, familiarly and more commonly
known as Deacon Jones, has been a life-long resident -of the
" old farm." In early life he married Miss Mary Giddings Coult,
a descendant of Revolutionary ancestors through the Coult and
Giddings families, with an ancestry traced back for some three
hundred years. By her researches and records, material aid has
been given to this work, and the reader is indebted to her for
much valuable information.

Mr. Jones represented Barkhamsted in the legislature in
1867 ; but this publicity was not pleasing to his domestic tastes.
Quiet in his demeanor, but well informed, he is a good conver-
sationalist, and possesses a vast fund of useful information. In
journeying by stage from the railroad to visit at Deacon Jones' ,
we asked the driver if Mr. Jones was a progressive farmer. The
answer came promptly, " Yes, why he has a meadow that he can
mow with a machine." The location of the "old home"
reminds one of the expression "with a body in Barkhamsted,
and soul in East Hartland," for postofhce and church privileges
are at East Hartland, and there is where the dead from the place
have been buried.

Capt. Rollin L. Jones entered the office of the Ashtabula
Telegraph, (then under the control of James Reed) at the age of
sixteen where he learned the business of typesetting; after which
he spent some time on the Warren Chronicle, and in 1858 joined
the force on the Toledo Blade.

After his discharge from the army, he spent a little time
upon his farm in Wayne, O., but soon became engaged upon the
Cleveland Herald. In time, the result of wounds received dur-
ing the war compelled him to return to the farm. Here
he served his townsmen as a justice of the peace, and was
a census enumerator for 1880. Active in politics, he wielded
a considerable influence, and was a loyal supporter of the govern-
ment. It is painful to his many friends, and yet an honor to his

THE FAMILY OF THOMAS JONES, OF BARKHAMSTED,
CONN., AND RICHLAND, N. Y.

No. 49.

Thomas Jones resided at Barkhamsted, Conn., until 1791,
when he emigrated to New York state, settling at or near Litch-
field, Herkimer count)-. There is no doubt but in this removal
he was accompanied by his brother, William Clark, as he emi-
grated to the same place the same year. In 1802 William pushed
on to Ohio, taking with him in all probability Thomas' son
Chauncey.

84 HISTORY AND GENEALOGY OF THE

Except the youngest, Orpha, all of Thomas' children were
born in Connecticut, as is proven by East Hartland Church
records, where they were baptized. Care should be taken in
searching records not to confuse Thomas Jones, of Barkham-
sted, with Thomas Jones, of Hartland, who married Rebecka
Knapp, of Springfield, Mass., Sept. 4, 1777; for, so far as
research has been carried, the two, although contemporaneous,
and bearing the same name, were in no way related. It will be
remembered that the northeast part of Barkhamsted, where
Capt. Israel and his family resided was, and is to-day, attached
to East Hartland for ecclesiastical privileges.

It appears that Thomas Jones resided at Litchfield, N. Y.,
for quite a number of years, but with his sons and son-in-law
pushed forward, and beyond the limits of settlements, making
for themselves homes in an unbroken wilderness. When they
were settled, and age began to tell on manhood vigor, Mr. Jones
passed the declining days of a well spent and busy life among
his children at and near Pulaski, N, Y. He died at Richland,
N. Y., June 13, 1832, at the ripe age of 81 years. See Military
Record.

Whether Israel Jones went to Litchfield, N. Y., with his
father's family, returning to Hartland for his bride in 1799, or
remained in Connecticut until after his marriage, is uncertain.
At all events he settled in York state soon after his marriage, for
his eldest child was born at Litchfield in Herkimer county. It is
probable that the brothers, Thomas and William Clark, emi-
grated together in 1791, and lived as neighbors until William
removed to Ohio in 1802. Shortly after William's leaving for
Ohio, the family of Thomas left Litchfield, and, after stopping for a
year or two at Williamstown, Oswego county, settled perma-
nently at Richland — then Oneida — now Oswego county, N. Y.

Mr. Jones is credited with building the first saw mill that
was operated in the section where he resided ; and the Rich-
some time previous, probably from the date of his marriage, as that event
is on record there; still, as no record of birth or baptism of Israel or
Pliny appears in the East Hartland Church records, it is possible that his
early married life was spent at some other place. The baptism of
Chauncey, noted above, is the earliest event of that kind in the family
recorded at East Hartland. I think the record of birth at Simsbury a
mistake so far as establishing Thomas' residence is concerned. (Parker.)

JONES FAMILY. 87

No. 255.

It appears that Pliny Jones either returned to Hartland for
his bride or did not emigrate to New York until after his mar-
riage which occurred in 1802. That he joined those who had
gone before soon after his marriage appears from the fact that his
eldest child was born at Richfield, N. Y. In 1805, we find him
located at Bridgewater, and in 180<S with the balance of the fam-
ily at Richland. For many years he was engaged as a land
agent, and kept a tavern one mile south of the village of Pulaski,
on the " old salt road " which connected Pulaski with Syracuse.
At that time this was one of the principal routes over which that
necessity — salt — was transported. Mr. Jones was one of the
most prominent and influential men of his day. He was elected
sheriff of the county ; also collector of taxes for Richland at the
first town meeting in 1807, afterwards doing the collecting for
the entire county. The M. E. Church was organized in 1811,
and for a considerable time held its services in his "tavern."
He was a member of Fellowship Lodge No. 288, F. & A. M., of
which he was treasurer from 1825 to 1827; junior warden, 1834-
35 ; also a member of Pulaski Chapter No. 104, R. A. M., of
which he was treasurer from 1827 to 1829.

The following historical article, written for the Pulaski
Democrat, in 1894, by C. R. Jones, of Pulaski (see No. 274), is
worthy of preservation :

" In the spring of 1804, Thos. Jones, with his four sons and
three daughters, left Bridgewater, in this state, with some other
families, to locate for themselves farms in the wilderness near
Lake Ontario, at Salmon river, in Richland. They passed
Utica, Rome and Camden. Then they plunged into the woods,
most of the way traveling by the aid of marked trees to their
future home, one mile south of Pulaski.

" Israel Jones bnilded the first sawmill, and Pliny Jones the
first frame barn. The latter is now standing and used by J. S.
Farmer (see No. 344, p. — ) on part of the old farm which has
been owned by many different men. It was first cleared by
Israel and Pliny Jones with the help of Horace and Lyman
Jones. They opened the roads east and west, north and south,
and the intersection is now known as Jones' Corners, where Pliny
Jones kept a public house for over fifty years, charging the

88 HISTORY AND GENEALOGY OF THE

weary traveler six cents for lodging and fifteen cents for meals.
Pliny Jones returned east in the fall to prepare for moving his
family the following spring.

"In April, 1806, Pliny Jones left his wife and two chil-
dren, P. H. Jones and Cornelia Jones (now Cornelia Ledyard,
the only one now living who traveled through the woods by
marked trees), to come by first sleighing to Richland. In De-
cember, 1806, Mrs. Jones started from Bridgewater with her ox
team and sled loaded with the family and household goods.
There were only two houses on the road after leaving Cam-
dem. The going was frightful and it was freezing cold. Mrs.
Jones walked by the oxen much of the way with her baby boy in
her arms, and Cornelia rode on the sled, crying with the cold.
In that condition a man passed them when eight miles out. He
hurried on to inform Pliny that his family needed assistance. He
started on a run and met them when five miles away. He found
Cornelia's feet and legs badly frozen almost to her knees. He
took her in his arms and carried her to a house, where he
boarded, nearly five miles away. By brisk work and great care
her life was saved. She is now Mrs. L^fyard, living near
Pulaski, and is ninety-one years of age. After three days' hard
work this family moved into their shanty ; it had neither win-
dows, door, nor chimney. The roof and floor were of slabs.
The sight brought tears to the mother's eyes and she cried out,
1 ' Is this to be my home ! ' ' They built a fire in one corner and
hung up a blanket for a door ; but they had plenty of wood,
and plenty of salmon to eat. In a few years they had a good
home where they spent their lives, providing also a resting place
for many a weary traveler, and raising a large family.

"At the time the soldiers moved from Sackett's Harbor to
Syracuse, the officers sent word to Mr. Jones to have dinner for
sixty at noon the next day. Being short of provisions, he took
his hired man, and with pitchforks went to the creek. They
speared as many salmon as they both could carry and had them
ready for dinner on time, and he was well paid for it. Mr. Jones
was away much of the time, being tax collector for the territory
from Oneida Lake to Oswego, Adams, and Camden. He went
on foot and boarded with the farmers.

" Pliny Jones, in raising the first barn in Richland, had men
from Mexico, Albion, Orwell, and Sandy Creek.

JONES FAMILY. 89

" The first wedding in Richland was Joseph Spaids and
Clara Jones (see No. '255, p. — ). There being no preacher or
justice nearer than Oswego, the groom must go after one, so he
started through the forest for Oswego, where he found a justice.
They hired a row boat and started via Lake Ontario for Salmon
river. Arriving in due time they took a four mile walk to the
bride's home.

"After the wedding, and the next day, Mr. Spaids and the
justice of the peace made the return trip. On reaching Nine
Mile Point, the young groom went ashore, leaving the Oswego
man to proceed on his journey alone. Spaids reached home be-
fore daylight the next morning.

" Mr. Spaids, who thus surmounted so many difficulties in
order to marry the maiden of his choice, was grandfather of Dr.
F. J. Bradner, of Pulaski (now of Syracuse, N. Y., see p. — )."

When Chauncey Jones was eleven years old, his father re-
moved from Barkhamsted to Litchfield, Herkimer county, N. Y.,
with his family ; and it would appear that the brothers, Thomas
and William Clark, emigrated together and settled near each
other. When William Clark concluded to push further west and
try the new Connecticut, Chauncey joined with him and located
himself in what is now Vernon township, Trumbull county,
Ohio. This was in 1802. Dates as to his marriage differ ; but
the most reasonable one seems to be 1803. His wife, Ursula, was
a daughter of Rev. Obed Crosby, the pioneer Methodist preacher,
who had removed his family from Connecticut to Vernon in
1801, after having spent the previous year there himself in mak-
ing preparations.

Mr. Jones became a prominent and influential man, and his
home was a favorite stopping place for the itinerant minister,
who was always sure of a heart}* welcome. In 1837, Mr. Jones
emigrated westward, and after stopping for about a year at La
Harpe, Hancock count}*, 111 , settled permanently near Platte-
ville, Wisconsin, where he passed the balance of his life. Chil-
dren all born at Vernon. Ohio.

In early manhood, Stephen Brace lived upon a farm, on the
old "Salt road," two miles south of Pulaski, N. Y., where
George W. Dodge (see No. 348) afterward resided. He was a
local M. E. preacher, and it would appear removed from this
farm about 1811, eventually settling in Greene township, Erie

Joseph Spaids, as a young man, was one of the earliest set-
tlers at Richland, N. Y. , for he went into the woods in company
with the " Jones family," into which he afterwards married.

He secured a good farm upon which he resided during his
life. His family suffered — with the others — a great deal from
fever and ague, that bane to so many of the early settlers ; and
the sorrow of a lifetime came in the early death of a son who
was named Thomas, for his grandfather — Thomas Jones.

Uzel Jones was a farmer, and resided during his long life upon
the farm where he was born. In. connection with his agricultural
pursuits, he owned and operated a sawmill upon the site where
his father had erected the first one built in that region, and upon
the opposite side of the creek he had a cider mill. His time was
so fully occupied with these affairs, that he congratulated himself
upon the fact that he never had w7orked away from home but
three days in his life. Mr. Jones being the eldest son at home
in the family, was early compelled to aid in its support, and
formed habits of industry which went with him through life.
He joined the Methodist church when he was eighteen years
old; was often elected its trustee, and was a consistent member
until his death, which occurred in 1885, he then being the oldest
person born in Richland. His given name seems to have been
a family name in the Miner family, some descendants bearing it
to the present day. Mrs. Uzel Jones' father was a soldier of
the Revolution, and died from disease contracted in the army
when she was but nine years old.

It appears that Whitman and Lydia Goit removed to La Porte
county, Ind., about 1833 or 4, and that they settled in Galena
township, where the}* passed the balance of their lives. The
following notice written of Mrs. Goit shortly after her death is
a worthy tribute to the memory of a noble woman :

' The deceased was converted to Christianity at the age of
seventeen, and has been a consistent member of the church for
over forty-four years. She was one of six that composed the first
class at this place over thirty-five years ago. Her faith in Christ
was unwavering to the last; and although her suffering was very
great, she bore it patiently, willing to live her allotted time, yet
ready to die at any moment. ' '

The wife of Harvey H. Jones was the widow of John King,
-of Harrison, Grant county, Wis., and by her hrst husband she
brought into the family her son, John I. King, who was then three
years old. March 29, 1854, Mr. Jones, with his family, started
by the overland route for Washington Territory. They arrived
there October 24, 1854, and settled near the White river in King
county about twenty miles from Seattle. Sunday, October 28,
1855, the father and mother were murdered in cold blood by a
party of fourteen Klikitat Indians, who burned the buildings.
After the massacre, young King, a lad of but seven years, carried
his little half brother and led his half sister about three miles in
hopes of finding some of the white settlers ; but all had become
alarmed and fled. The houses were deserted, and some of them

ransacked. The children had been driven form their breakfast,
had had no dinner except a few potatoes they had dug from the
ashes of the milk house where they had been stored, were tired,
hungry, and begging for food. The young children cried for their
mother, and to add to the trouble, an Indian was seen approach-
ing. The children soon discovered that he was a "friendly,"
whom they had often seen, named "Curly." He took them
home to his wigwam, and his squaw set them out a repast of
whortleberries and smoked fish, to which they did ample justice,
though no effort could reconcile the two youngest to approach
or receive any caresses from her. The next day " Curly " took
them down the White river in his eauoe and turned them over to
the proper authorities. Their uncle, John Smail, was in Cali-
fornia, where he heard of the massacre, and immediately went to
Seattle and took charge of the children. In June, 1856, they left
Seattle on the government man-of-war Decatur. The vessel
came near foundering in a gale off the mouth of the Columbia
river, but finally arrived safely at San Francisco, where the
children received most generous attention, and a benefit was
given them in the American theater From there, via. the
Isthmus of Panama, and New York, they were transferred to*
the homes of relatives in Wisconsin. Young King, who had
been so instrumental in caring for his young charge, was returned
to the home of his uncle, Rev. David King, at Vernon, O., and
never again saw his sister and brother.

retained in the family.

Lawrence Jones Farmer graduated from a scientific course
at Pulaski Academy in 1887. Since he was thirteen years old he
has been engaged in the fruit and nursery business, and to-day is
considered the leading authority on strawberries and their cul-
ture in the state of New York. In June, 1893, he exhibited
sixty-eight varieties of strawberries at the World's Fair, which
had been so skillfully and caref Lilly packed, that they were shown
for eleven days, winning the very highest awards, viz., medal and
diploma. Since 1893 Mr. Farmer has been largel3r engaged by the
state in delivering addresses on fruit culture at Farmers' Insti-
tutes, and has spoken before the state horticultural societies of
New Jerse3T, Connecticut, Michigan, and province of Quebec,
Canada ; besides several addresses before the Western New

THE FAMILY OF COLONEL ISRAEL JONES, OF BARK-
HAMSTED, CONN.

No. 50.

For more than thirty-five years the name of Colonel Israel
Jones appears in Barkhamsted records as one of its leading citi-
zens, and history records, that "the sons of Capt. Israel Jones
were found to be valuable citizens in the varied walks of life. ' '
The colonel's record as a leader will be found in its appropriate
place, and he probably did as much as anyone in his day to plant
and sustain the principles for which Barkhamsted is noted.

The house in which he lived was purchased — or leased for 990
years — by his father, Captain Israel, from Simon Baxter, Feb-
ruary 13, 1771. Baxter probably erected it shortly previous to
1771, for after describing the bounds, Baxter adds, " on which is
situated my mansion." This house is well preserved, and bids
fair to endure the blasts and heat of another 150 j-ears. Here
the colonel's children were born; here he and his wife died, and
his son Drayton resided from about 1812, until he moved to Ohio
in 1830.

Such buildings are entitled to veneration, for beneath their
roof history has been made; and many sons and daughters turn
to them with filial thoughts of the old childhood home of their
ancestors.

COL. ISRAEL JONES HOMESTEAD.

Here the records of the town were kept and justice decreed.
Active in everything pertaining to the benefit and progress of the
community, he received honor from the hands of his townsmen
by their recognizing him as a colonel, sending him to the gen-
eral assembly, electing him their first township clerk, an office
which he filled for many years, as well as that of justice of the
peace. As a member of the general assembly he represented
Barkhamsted nineteen sessions, from 1796 to 1808. Previous to
the year 1819, Connecticut continued to abide by the colonial
form of government which provided for two sessions of the
assembly annually, one in May, the other in October. In 1819
a state constitution was adopted which provided for but one ses-
sion annually. It is impossible to enumerate all the benefits
which come from the life of such a man, and we are prone to
forget the source from which the benefits we enjoy, flow. We
cannot venerate too highly the blessings which we receive as the
result of the lives of such men as Colonel Israel Jones, his broth-
ers, and their comrades who by their endeavors secured our
freedom and liberty.

Marquis Jones, after his marriage, lived in Barkhamsted in
the neighborhood called " Ratlam." As to the derivation of
this name one writer says: " The rocky region in the southern
portion of the town, running over into Canton, has long
been known as Ratlam Its origin is obscure, but the most
reasonable solution is this: in traveling along its rough roads,
the stones and boulders would sorely try carts and wagons, and
rattle 'em at a furious rate. ' '

But little has been learned about him. He removed to
Smyrna, N. Y., in 1818, and some reports would indicate that he
lived in Massachusetts for a time; but the evidence is in favor of
removal from Barkhamsted to Smyrna He was a successful
business man and acquired a competence principally as a drover
and handler of stock. After his death his widow married Simeon
Rexford, of Smyrna, so it is probable that Marquis died there.

Anson Jones emigrated from Barkhamsted, Conn., in 1805,
and located temporarily at Vernon, or Hartford, Ohio. In 1807
he removed to Williamsfield, where he remained until about
1809, when he located in Wayne upon the Hayes road. Remained
there until 1830, when he sold out to his brother, Drayton, and
went to Cherry Valley, O. In 1834 he went to Oberlin, O. ; in
1841 to Racine, Wis., and in 1855 to Ea Crosse Valley, Wis.

While he resided in Ohio he had a good influence over young
J. R. Giddings, and persuaded him to prepare for and study the
law. Although of a migratory disposition, Mr. Jones was a man
of remarkably good mind, and had a deep interest in educa-
tional matters ; was often appealed to for advice, and was an
influential man in the early settlement. At the election ordered
for Wayne in 1811 he was elected "Leister and Appraiser," and
one of the three " Supervisors; " and at the state election held in
1812 he was one of the election judges.

To such men as Anson Jones, communities are largely
indebted for the advantages they now possess, for such pioneers
left an imprint upon society which has never been effaced.

Drayton Jones (see Military Record), upon his marriage,
moved to Canton, Conn., where he lived for some five years
upon a farm that was owned by his father-in-law, Hon. Robert
Wilcox. About the time of the death of his father he returned
to Barkhamsted and lived at the "old home" until 1880, when
he sold out and emigrated to Wayne, O. At that time his
brother, Anson, was living in Wayne, and owned quite a large
tract of land on both sides of the Hayes road, about one and a
half miles south of where Wick postoffice is now located. Dray-
ton purchased from Anson this property, Anson removing about
five or six miles north into Cherry Valley. Drayton was a suc-
cessful farmer, and acquired a good property. He met an
untimely death, as the following extract from Wayne History
will show:

" 1848, Drayton Jones fell through a scaffold over the barn
floor, alighting on the cylinder of a threshing machine while it
was in motion. He was mangled and torn in a shocking manner.
He lived, however, about four days."

He was a prominent Mason and was the third person to pre-
side over " Northern Star No. 58," at Barkhamsted.

Drayton Jones was an energetic, positive, and progressive
man. Upright in his dealings, he won the confidence and respect
of his neighbors and townsmen, who profoundly lamented his
untimely death. His wife was a daughter of Hon. Robert and
Clymena, Wilcox Mr. Wilcox was a prominent man where he
resided in Connecticut ; served Barkhamsted as selectman
numerous terms, and represented the town in the general
assembly in 1807, 1810 and 1811.

Just when Hon. Lynds Jones came to Ohio is in doubt. The
earliest record found is that he, with Hon. J. R. Giddings, acted
as clerks of presidential election held in Wayne in 1816; but in
all probability he came some time earlier, or he would not have
held a residence in Wayne at the time of the election. He very
soon came into prominence, for in 1820 to 1824, he was sheriff of
Ashtabula county; recorder, 1822 to 1829; and associate judge,
1846 to 1851, the date of his death.

In 1838, the Ashtabula County Historical and Philosophical
Society was formed, and in the list of original members appears
the names of Lynds Jones, Drayton Jones, Flavel Jones, Linus
H. Jones, Klisha Giddings, Nathaniel Colemam, with other mem-
bers of the family joining after. The society collected several
hundred pages of early history, and a good collection of pioneer
relics. The active members either died or moved away, so that
since 1851, but little attention has been paid to it. For several
years Mr. Jones was engaged in the monumental business, and

many memorial stones from his place of business mark the rest-
ing place of loved ones all over the county.

Mrs. Jones was a daughter of Abner and Pnoebe Waters, who
at an early day emigrated from' Connecticut to Gustavus, Ohio.
She was a sister to the wife of Hon. J. R. Giddings, and at Jeffer-
son the families were near neighbors.

in the gathering storm. History records how well the public
men of that day perfected the work which their fathers began in
1776 ; and just as efficient and faithful duty was performed by
such men, as by the soldiers who took the field under arms.
Death called him while in the prime of executive ability, but
his mantle of patriotic heroism fell upon vyorthy shoulders; and
his sons proved themselves worthy of the inheritance. The fol-
lowing extracts, taken from " History of Litchfield County, Con-
necticut," are but a just tribute to his memory:

" His mother was the daughter of Hezekiah Wadsworth,
Esq., of Farmington, a descendant of William Wadsworth and
Timothy Stanley, who were among the first English settlers and
land-holders of Hartford. William Wadsworth had two sons, —
John and Joseph. John, the grandfather of Hezekiah, settled in
Farmington. He was. a member of what is now the senate, when
his brother, the daring Capt. Joseph, secreted the charter of Con-
necticut in the historic oak. Henry Jones' father died in 1812,
and his mother succeeded in keeping the famity together until
her death, — which occurred a year later, — when her children
found homes in. Farmington among their mother's relatives.
Thrown practically upon their own resources the sons made
their own way in the world and became useful citizens.

" Henry Jones' first venture in business for himself was at
Colebrook River; but not liking the location, after one year's
experience there, he moved to New Hartford, where he estab-
lished himself in business in 1821; and from that time he was a
prominent figure in the business interests of New Hartford.

"Although a successful mechanic, manufacturer, merchant
and farmer, Mr. Jones was chiefly known among his fellow men
as a public officer. From the year 1822, when he was first ad-
mitted to the freeman's oath, until his death, his name was con-
tinuously identified with the interests of the town. To him his
fellow citizens applied for advice on all questions, and through
his arbitration many family and neighborhood difficulties were
settled to the satisfaction of all concerned. A fitting close to
this sketch will be .an editorial notice of his death published in
the Winsted Herald of Feb. 20, 1863. Similar notices were
printed in Hartford papers, and journals throughout the county
and state :

.TONUS FAMILY. J 29

" ' We chronicle to-day, with .sincere sorrow, the death of
Henry Jones, Esq., of New Hartford. He died suddenly on
Saturday night last without a moment of illness, or the slightest
warning of the approaching change. He had been in usual good
health during the winter, as he had been through the day on
which he died. Previously to retiring on Saturday evening he
had wound his clock as usual, and then put wood into the stove;
while engaged in this he was observed to fall over upon the floor,
and before aid could be called almost in the same moment he
ceased to breathe. Mr. Jones was widely known through the
county, and was one of its best men. Modest and retiring in his
manner, he was observant and shrewd; seeking no public posi-
tion, he was rarely allowed by a community which knew his
worth, an interval out of its service. Either as selectman, jus-
tice, judge, member of the legislature, county or court commis-
sioner, or in some other capacity, he has almost always been in
the public service. He filled every position honorably and well.
He was a man of rigid integrity; in politics, when the severest
morality too often relaxes, he was a man of the same firm con-
victions and unalterable purposes.

" ' His private life was equally amiable and exemplary, and
from the school boy to the patriarch, all in the community
in which he lived mourn his decease almost as a personal
affliction.

" ' Mr. Jones' funeral, last Wednesday, was one of the most
numerously attended in the town for several years, attracting as
it did many from a distance, who gathered to pay their last
tribute of respect to one they loved.' His age was sixty-two."

Edward W. Jones settled at Pike, Bradford county, Pa.,
and for a number of years was engaged in merchandising, but
eventually devoted his time to farming. His sons and daughters
received unusually good educations, the daughters attending
seminaries at Poughkeepsie, Geneva, Holland Patent, N. Y.,
and Washington, D. C. Mrs. Jones wras educated at Poughkeep-
sie, N. Y. , and Montrose, Pa., and was a granddaughter of Cap-
tain David Olmstead, of Revolution fame; thus the children
inherited a military spirit from both their parents, which has
been kept alive by patriotism, and continues to manifest itself at
the present time, as the record will show.

Miles Jones went to Buffalo, N. Y. , ab^ut the year 1820, and
during an active life made himself influential. He was a straight-
forward, energetic, perservering and successful business man,
whose integrity and probity stood unquestioned and proverbial.
At the time of his death the board of trade of the city passed
resolutions of respect to his memory, and almost to a man
attended his funeral, which was observed at the Universalist
Church of the Messiah. The Knights Templar and the Master
Masons also were in attendance, for Mr. Jones had been a mem-
ber of each of those societies. The interment at Forest Lawn
was conducted by the "Masonic fraternity. The cortege was one

Compiled from Historical and Biographical Cyclopedia of
the State of Ohio:

"Dr. William W. Jones' early education was derived in a
district school in his native town, though at the age of ten he
was sent to a private academy in the same place, where he
remained till he was thirteen years of age. The succeeding two
years were spent in an academy at Salem, N. Y., where he was
enabled to possess himself of a very liberal English education.

" Desiring to learn some trade or business, he entered a print-
ing office in Forestville N. Y. , where he remained several months,
until the failure of the paper on which he was engaged led to
his removal to Buffalo, where for a year or more he was engaged
upon a literary paper; and upon its failure he became connected
with what is now the Commercial Advertiser, of that city, where
he remained until his removal to Ohio in 1836.

" At that time he had a brother who was engaged in an exten-
sive flouring mill, and in selling merchandise at Dresden, O., and
the journalist was easily persuaded to adopt a business life which
promised greater pecuniary reward than the calling he was fol-
lowing.

"He became a partner with his brother in the mill and acquired
a knowledge, or insight to commercial business which was of
great advantage to him in after life. While a measure of pecu-
niary success attended his efforts in business, his tas es for study
and knowledge could not in this occupation be gratified to the
extent he desired.

" Notwithstanding tempting offers were made him from time
to time, after he commenced the study of medicine in 1844, he
declined them all ; believing that making money did not consti-
tute the chief end of man, but rather true happiness could be
found in a life of usefulness to others as well as himself. Dr.
Jones began the study of medicine with Dr. W. W. Rickey, of

138 HISTORY AND GENEALOGY OF THE

Dresden ; and was afterwards one of the charter members, and
subsequently, president of the Ohio State Medical Society.

"For some time he was a private student of Dr Frank H.
Hamilton, then professor of surgery, in the University of Buffalo,
where he graduated in the winter of 1848-9. Milliard Fillmore,
then president of the United States, was chancellor of the Uni-
versity, and as such his signature appears upon the doctor's
diploma. He immediately located in Toledo, Ohio, then but a
small village, and entered upon the practice of his chosen pro-
fession. Here his life work began. The same summer, and
shortly after Dr. Jones located here, a cholera epidemic broke out
in the village and vicinity which gave him and the other resi-
dent physicians all the practice they were able to attend to. It
was not long before he took a place in the foremost ranks of the
old practitioners. The many cases that came under his charge
were managed, with such success, that a reputation was then and
there established, which has abided with him ever since.

" During the progress of Toledo from a town of 2500 to a city
of 60,000 population, with its catalogue' of consequent accidents.
Dr. Jones has been called upon to perform a great number of sur-
gical operations of every character and degree of difficulty, and
acquired a reputation of being a very skilled surgeon.

" He was an active member of the American Medical Associa-
tion ; and the Ohio State Medical Societ)\ of which he was pres-
ident in 1875, having been a member since 1849, the year of its
permanent organization, and being one of three of the oldest of
its living members. He was also ex president of the Alumni
Association of the University of Buffalo ; an honorary member
of the Michigan State Medical Society ; Detroit Academy of
Medicine and Detroit Medical Society ; also a member of the
Detroit Library Association ; the oldest living member in 1883 of
the Lucas County Medical Society, organized in 1851 ; a member
of the Northwestern Ohio Medical Societ3r ; Southern Michigan
Medical Society and Northern Indiana Medical Society. He was
also consulting physician and surgeon for the St. Vincent Hos-
pital, Toledo, O., and corresponding member of several scientific
societies. He was an able and liberal contributor to various
medical journals throughout the country. In 1840 Dr. Jones
became a Mason, the office of High Priest being the highest he
ever held in the order. While he has borne a very prominent

JONES FAMILY. 13.)

part in his profession, he has been one of Toledo's most public
spirited citizens. Whatever has been for public good, or for the
honor of the city has always received his zealous support, and
the enterprises which promised growth and progress have always
found in Dr. Jones a most liberal contributor in time and money.

" In 1857, he was elected a member and president of Toledo's
common council. In 1871 was elected mayor ; re-elected in 1873.
In 1877 he was again elected to the same office, thus acting as
the city's executive for three terms, with the reputation of hav-
ing been one of the most efficient officers in the history of the
city. He was a member of the board of health nearly all the
time since it was organized in 1866

" Repeatedly urged by his friends, and party, to become a
candidate for either state, or national position, he declined the
honor, preferring professional, to political achievements. In
politics he was an ardent Democrat, though not a rabid partisan,
and in the campaign for mayor received the support of all good
citizens irrespective of party.

" Dr. Jones' wife was Adeline Knaggs, daughter of John
Knaggs, an early pioneer, born at Detroit, Michigan. Her father
was Indian agent at Detroit during the war of 1812. At Hull's
surrender he was taken prisoner and kept at Quebec until the
close of the war. As a matter of history, the following extracts
from a Toledo paper — Anniversary edition — are added: ' Dr.
Jones was the first president of the Toledo Natural Gas Board.
His theory of the formation and generation of natural gas excited
the attention of geologists and chemists and placed him in the
front ranks. Always on the side of the people, against monop-
oly, Dr. Jones was among the first to advocate the construction
of a pipe line for the supply of natural gas to Toledo, to be
owned by the city. His sound business views and marked
financial ability gave the new movement a :-trong following.
On April 15, 1889, he was appointed on the board of natural gas
trustees by Govei nor Foraker, and elected first president of the
board. Although past his three score and ten years, he engaged
in this work with all his former energy and determination. At
the end of the first year he was re-elected by the unanimous
suffrage of the city, regardless of politics, and again chosen
president of the board. It can be said without disparagement to
his associates on the board, that Dr. Jones did more to insure the

140 HISTORY AND GENEALOGY OF THE

success of the city pipe line than any other man in the city. At
the very outbreak of the civil war he took a firm stand for
the Union, declaring that the integrit)^ of the government must
be maintained at whatever cost. He was appointed by Governor
Tod on the staff of medical examiners and during that protracted
struggle gave his time and means to the recruiting and medical
service. No citizen in private life more fully possessed the hearts
of all around him, and no public man ever returned to private
life with a more abiding mastery over the confidence and affection
of the people.' "

Uriel Mills was the . eldest son of Capt. D. Mills, the first
settler in Nelson township, Portage county, Ohio, and a sister of
his grandfather was the mother of John Brown, of Harpers
Ferry fame.

Mrs. Adaline Jones Mills had prepared herself for teaching
previous to her father's removal from Connecticut to Ohio, and
after the family was duly settled in their new home she opened a
school, occupying one of the rooms in her father's house in
Wayne. With rare natural ability which had been trained with
more than ordinary care for that day, she left an impress which
is still felt. Her married life was principally passed at Salem,
Marion county, 111. , where her children were born and where her
husband died.

For several years previous to her death, she was at intervals
a great sufferer from some brain trouble, which, while it did not
impair her intellect, caused excruciating agony during its period
of attack. About 1888, she went to Coshocton, Ohio, and resided
with her daughter there until she died, loved, honored and
lamented by all who had ever known her through her long and
useful life.

For some time after the death of his father, Henry L. R.
Jones managed the " Home property " in Wayne, O , but the
Western fever was too strong and he concluded to emigrate. It
appears that he made a short stop in Minnesota, but in 1865
crossed the plains, with ox teams, to Denver, Col. , returning to
the Missouri river in the fall of 1866 and settling finally at
Lawrence, Kan., where he remained until 1869, when he went to
the southern part of the state. From the record it appears that
eventually he settled in Utah, at Salt Lake Citj', as he and his
wife both died there. He was a man endowed by nature with
an unusually brilliant mind which appears to have been trans-
mitted to his children, who have made their worth felt in this
busy, progressive world.

Note. From the fact that Mrs. Perrine died, and both of her chil-
dren were married at Carbondale, Kan., where her brother Robert resided,
it would appear that the family had removed to that place some time after
1854.

Hon. Stiles Parsons Jones read law in the office of Senator
B. F. Wade at Jefferson, Ohio ; was admitted to the bar, and
became associated in the practice of his profession with Hon.
J. R. Giddiugs. He was elected prosecuting attorney of Ashta-
bula county, Ohio, serving from 1851 to 1853. About 1855 he re-
moved to Rochester, Minn., where he resided at the time of his
death. He had not been at Rochester long before his ability
was recognized. Peculiarly gifted in public speaking, and being
a man whose sincerity, sterling integrity, and purity of public
and private character were unquestioned, he became a leader,
not only at the bar in southern Minnesota, but of the Republican
side of the state senate during his service in that bod}'.
He was a member of the Minnesota delegation to the Republican
national convention that nominated Lincoln to the presidency
at Chicago in 1860; and the same year was elected to represent
the Olmsted county senatorial district in the state senate, a
position he occupied at the time of his death, which occurred
while in the prime of manhood, and at a time when such men
were needed everywhere, for the government was at stake.
During his last sickness he declined a nomination to the office of
attorney general of the state, which was tendered by the
People's party, on the ground of his loyalty to the Republican
part3r in its effort to uphold the Union.

146 HISTORY AND GENEALOGY OP THE

Proceedings to honor his memory were held in the senate
chamber January 13, 1862, when, upon resolutions offered by
Senator Daniels, — who succeeded Senator Jones, — eloquent
eulogies were delivered by Senators Daniels, Bennett, Heaton,
Cleveland, Smith, and Lieut. Governor Donnelly, who, calling
Senator Reiner to the chair, said in part: " Mr. President : I
poorly respond to the promptings of my own heart did I not
unite with the senate in its proceedings on this occasion. As
presiding officer of your body, it was my privilege during the
last session to be brought into almost daily contact with the
deceased senator, in whose honor these resolutions are offered,
and I learned in that time to appreciate not only his clearness
and force of mind as a public speaker, but his man}' admirable
and endearing qualities as a man and a citizen. Although he
came among us unheralded by any distinguished reputation, it
needed but his first effort to place him at once among the leading
intellects of the senate and among the first minds of the state.
When the news of his untimely death reached us, it fell
with a suddenness and unexpectedness that added not a little to
the bitterness of the blow. We had parted from him full of
energy, full of hope, full of endeavor,— a few short months
passed and the grave had closed over his career of active useful-
ness,— he had disappeared from our midst.

" Like ship> that have gone down to sea,
" Wh n heaven wa- all tranquillity."

" * * * in the case of our deceased associate we perform
more than the ordinary office of friendship. While we lament
the death of the citizen, and extend the offering of our sympathy
to those near and dear ones, whose grief no grief of ours can
measure, we are at the same time called upon to mourn the
extinction of an intellect bright with genius, which would, had
it been spared, shone as a light at the feet of his fellow men.
* * * Let us gather from his life this one cheering con-
viction: That though we appear but for a moment upon the
bustling and, crowded scene of existence, though we quickly pass
through it and are as quickly forgotten, no span of life is short
which compasses within its range, devotion to an}- just and true
principle. The immortality of a great truth attaches to its
votaries, and he has not lived in vain, and cannot die unrecorded.

who during his career, however short, and within his sphere of
action, however limited, has striven to advance, — if it be but a
foot's pace, the cause, and the interest of his fellow man.

" Mr. Reiner (in the chair) put the motion upon the resolu
tions, by requesting senators in favor, to rise. They were
passed unanimously, when Mr. Reiner said: ' The resolutions
are adopted, and our heartfelt tribute of respect to the memory of
the Hon. Stiles P. Jones has been rendered, while realizing in
our hearts the sentiment of the gifted poet :

" ' Aye! weep 'and sigh, 'tis manliness
To be heartbroken here,
For the grave of earth's best nobleness
Is watered with a tear.' "

"By the adoption of the resolutions the senate stands ad-
journed. ' '

On Jan. 7, 1901, Mr. Dean received a fall, which, on account
of previous poor health, resulted in his death April 10. In re-
ferring to the event, the Kent Courier says in part : " George
W. Dean, a resident of Franklin township since 1864, and one
of its best known, most upright, honorable and respected citi-
zens, passed away at his home east of Kent, after a long and

148 HISTORY AND GENEALOGY OF THE

severe illness; and in his passing Portage county loses one of its
best citizens, a man whose death will be deeply mourned.

" Mr. Dean was reared in his native township; educated in
the common schools and at Farmington, Ohio, Academy, and
learned the trade of shoemaking with his father; but in 1855
embarked in the nursery business at Troy, Geauga county,
Ohio. Nine years later he moved to Franklin township,
where he followed the business of nurseryman and florist, at
both of which he was an expert. Besides horticulture, Mr.
Dean was a thorough student in several branches of natural
science, and had a fine collection of specimens, all arranged and
systematically classified."

George W. Dean was a born naturalist. From chilhood he
turned to nature for teaching, — as circumstances prevented
the acquiring of as liberal an education as he desired, — and
the hours that could be spared from business were devoted to
collecting, arranging, classifying and labeling the specimens
which by persistent and persevering efforts he secured. There-
suit is that he has gathered a museum that would do credit to
an institution of learning, which he has arranged and classified
with the instinct of a master mind.

This collection of between two and three thousand species,
consists of many thousand specimens of land, fresh and salt water
shells, some minerals, about sixty varieties of birds' eggs, and
numerous odd curiosities. From ocean isles to the home farm,
every portion of the globe is represented. Fine large ocean
specimens, variegated with the blending tints of the rainbow, and
tiny ones, so light that a breath would blow them away, which
are housed within glass for protection. Space forbids a descrip-
tion, but the following notice, written by Prof. E W. Claypole,
of the University of Pasadena, Cal., — late of Buchtel College,
Akron, Ohio, — intimates in the words of a cultured scientist, the
extent and worth of Mr. Dean's labors. He says in part :

" It has been put together with great care, and the shells are
well selected and of good quality and condition. Mr. Dean has
been very careful in giving the locality and species of nearly all,
and the collection is one of which any naturalist might feel
proud. It would enrich many a college museum."

Publius V. Jones resided at Jefferson, O., until 1865, when
he moved west and settled upon a farm at Grinnell, Iowa. Dur-
ing the civil war he was active in supporting the government in
its struggle for supremacy. While residing at Jefferson he was
employed a part of the time in the lumber trade in connection
with running a saw mill during which time he erected several
houses. In Iowa he seems to have devoted the entire time to
the management of his farm.

Mrs. Jones was a lady of remarkably good mind; had been

was a strong anti-slaver}- man, left the Whig party on that
account, and gave his support to the Free Soil part}' until it was
supplanted by the Republican party.

In September, 1S59, he was appointed probate judge to fill
a vacancy caused by the death of Judge Plumb, an office which
he afterwards filled acceptably by election.

In September, 1862, President Lincoln appointed him col-

Chark-s Carroll Jones had prepared for and was a student in
Western Reserve College, at Hudson, Ohio, at the time of his
father's death; an event which necessarily changed all his plans,
and compelled him to drop further study and go into business.
In 1856 he went to Minnesota, and upon its admission as a state
in 1858 he was elected clerk of the court of Olmsted county.
In 1860 he visited his mother who resided at Jefferson, O., and
from there accompanied his uncle, Hon. J. R. Giddings, to Wash-
ington, D. C, to witness the inauguration of President Lincoln.
While there, his uncle's influence with Secretary Chase easily
secured a position for him in the treasury department which he
held until 1863, when he resigned his clerkship and returned to
Minnesota. While in Washington a part of his time was
employed as a war correspondent, and his employer, David Blakely
who established the Chicago Post, was kind enough to say that it
was a mistake he did not continue in that line of business; but
his early training induced him to settle upon lands in Minnesota
that he had acquired, where he soon erected the first cheese fac-
tory and gave that great industry its birth in Minnesota.

In 1876 he returned to Washington, received appointment
of Assistant Postmaster to the U. S. Senate in connection with

private secretary to Senator Wiiidorn, a position which con-
tinued to exist for five winters. The intimate and confidential
relations between Senator (afterwards Secretary) Windoni and
Mr. Jones continued to exist until the secretary's death ; and
their chirograph y was so similar that Mr. Jones was authorized
to write many of his " autographs." Mr. Jones recalls with just
pride the respect and confidence which existed between Senator
Windom and himself, and it cheers his declining years.

In 1897 he removed to California on account of his daugh-
ter's health, where he now (1901) resides.

His political principles are Republican, and for many years
was active in politics ; was master of the Masonic lodge in
Rochester, Minn., 1857-8, but since his marriage in 1862 has
found home so pleasant he has been dilatory in his attendance.

and in November elected clerk of the court of common pleas

he declined a third nomination wh'ch was tendered him, prefer-

traveling with his children. In 1870 he settled at Duluth, Minn.,
and resumed the practice of law ; soon after which he was
elected and served a term as county attorney.

Since 1870 Judge Ensign has been identified with the sub-
stantial growth and progress of Duluth. For seven years he was
a member of the school board during the period when the
foundation of the present magnificent school system of that
enterprising city was laid ; served as alderman for over five
years, and mayor two terms.

In April, 1889, Mr. Ensign was appointed by the governor
of Minnesota, judge of the district court for the eleventh

Hon. David F. Day was one of those persons who by per-
sistent effort against circumstances won an enviable record and
became one of Buffalo's most talented, patriotic, and esteemed
citizens Aside from the public schools, his education was self
acquired, and he became not only a noted lawyer, — being for
many years a leading member of the Buffalo bar, — but was one
of the prominent botanists of the state, contributing valuable
articles to the various scientific journals. He was not inclined
to politics, but man}- years ago he was persuaded to accept the
nomination for member of assembly; and although a Democrat
in a Republican ward, he was easily elected. In 1892 he was
appointed a member of the Park Board, and reappointed in 1898.
Much of the beaut}- of Buffalo's parks can be credited to his
enterprise and artistic taste. Mr. Day, with the late George W.
Clinton, founded the Buffalo Society of Natural Sciences, over
which Mr. Day formerly presided as its president. He joined
Erie Lodge F. & A. M. in 1S52; elected grand master in ls65,
and at the time of his death was its oldest past grand master
living. He was past grand high priest of the Grand Chapter
of the state of X. Y., member of Hugh De Payne's Commandery
Xo. 30, and trustee of Masonic Hall Association. Mr. Day was
a thirty-third degree Mason of the northern jurisdiction of the
Ancient Accepted Scottish Rite.

Frank H. Ransom is senior member of the firm of D. Ran-
som, Son & Co., and is identified with numerous enterprises in
Buffalo. Mrs. Ransom died at Rome, Italy, while on a tour
through continental Europe with her husband and children.
She was slightly indisposed Saturday, April 25, but had no alarm-
ing symptoms until Sunday evening, when she rapidty grew worse
and died on the following morning of rupture of one of the
blood vessels of the heart. The body was embalmed and placed
in a leaden coffin covered with velvet. This was enclosed in a
wooden coffin covered with black broadcloth; this in turn was
covered with straw, and over all was placed a cover of canvas.
Such is the superstition of sailors against sailing with a dead
body on board; that the remains had to be labelled as " Roman
statuary ' ' and sent by another ship than the party took in
returning. At the funeral services held at Buffalo upon their
arrival home, flowers were numerous and of surpassing beauty.
Among the floral offerings was a chain of ten links composed of
white roses, with the third link broken. ' This was a token from
Mrs. Ransom's brothers and sisters.

When Henry R. Jones returned from the army in 1865, he
joined the family in Denver, Col. , and has ever since remained in
the mountains of Colorado and Wyoming. Quite a portion of
the time until the early 70 's was spent in prospecting and min-
ing, his brother, Stiles D., being associated with him, where they
met their full share of privation and adventure. While in the
Black Hills in 1867, two Mexicans attempted to kill and rob Mr.
Jones. Three bullets took effect, one through his body, one
struck a knee and one an arm. He succeeded in making his way
to a government hay camp where he was cared for, and placed
in the milita^ hospital at Fort Russell, where he was confined
for some four or rive months. During every spring and fall the
brothers would "pinch beaver toes for a grub stake," i. <?., trap
beaver to get money with which to buy provisions for the pros-
pecting trips which they made during the summer months. In
the early 70 's Mr. Jones became associated with Frank Williams,
a Connecticut boy, who has been a member of the state senate
ever since Wyoming was admitted as a state. They own a large,
fine ranch on the upper North Platte river near the Colorado
line where Mr. Jones lives in comfort, peace and happiness.

The early years of. business in the career of Stiles D. Jones
were spent in prospecting and mining, which met with varied
success. Naturally endowed with a distinctive ability to direct
men, and bring order out of chaos, he took charge of workmen
who had been employed to construct works which were planned
by his brother— Robert M. — and push them to a successful
accomplishment, thus making practical what seemed impossible.
Mr. Jones has been much interested in this work and has given
valuable aid in collecting information.

Robert M. Jones possesses a natural love for, and the
ability to understand and manage intricate machinery. In 1870
he joined a government surveying part)7 and went to the Indian

.TONRS FAMTi.Y. 173

Territory. Within six months he was appointed Deputy United
States Surveyor and placed in charge of a party, a business
which he followed the most of the time until about 1885. Din-
ing this time he invented and secured a patent on the applica-
tion of the latitude are to the engineer's solar transit, which has
come into general use. For a little time he followed mining,
but soon turned his attention to electricity, and equipments by
which it might be controlled. Space forbids any but a notice of
the principal results of his genius. He made drawings of and
had constructed the best electric drill known to modern engineer-
ing for mining purposes, for which he has received letters patent.
Another novelty which he introduced is, placing the large
generators on the same base frame, as, and directly connected
to the waterwheels. This was first done in works hereafter
noticed, and the idea originated with Mr. Jones, and has grown
to be the common practice.

As to this one plant (the Big Cottonwood), it has been said,
that it alone would be a monument to the ability and genius of
the best mechanical and electrical engineer of the time, for after
years of continuous use it demonstrates that there was no error
in design, or execution of construction. Ordinarily we appre-
ciate little of what we do not fully understand. We see results,
but can only conjecture as to the cause which produces them. A
short notice from a scientific journal will express more under-
standing^ the work Mr. Jones has planned and accomplished
than can be done in any other way.

Robert Mills Jones originated the scheme of supplying Salt
Lake City with electric power from the falls on Big Cottonwood
Creek, fourteen miles away. A company was formed of which
Mr. Jones was the engineer. He perfected his plans, built a dam
535 feet long, from 92 to 135 feet wide at the base, from 19 to 31
feet high, and 24 feet wide at the top. It is constructed of sand,
clay and gravel, riprapped with stone on the upper side. This
furnishes, with the static head of 380 feet at the power house, a
theoretical horse-power of 2,450 at low water, and 3,600 for
eight months of the year. Between the reservoir and the power
house, it was necessary to tunnel 430 feet through slate and quart-
zite, and the tunnel is 7 feet wide by 7^> feet high. One pipe
1,420 feet long, built of Oregon fir staves, and heavily banded
with steel, 50 inches in diameter, conveys water to an intake, or

diameter conveys it to the power house.

The site was located in 1891, and in 1896, 68 per cent, of the
total theoretical power at the power house could be delivered at
the city; that is 40,000 horse power hours a day, net, with the
plant as then equipped.

Later, Mr. Jones was engineer for the Pike's Peak Power
Company. Here is located what is said to be the largest steel
faced granite back-filled dam in the United States. Machinery
was manufactured in accordance with special plans and specifica-
tions made by Mr. Jones, a full description of which may be
found in the June, 1900, number of Modern Machinery, published
at Chicago. These works have developed engineering skill that
seems incredible, and a person may well wonder what will come
next; for in this undertaking, blasts were fired equal to the
explosion of 35,000 pounds of powder, which raised the entire
tops of mountains, and made way for what seemed impossible.

In this work, Mr. Jones' brother, Stiles D., lent his aid by
bringing order out of chaos among the workmen, and directing
understandingly the work which had been planned; so that suc-
cess crowned their efforts and gave to the world one of the most
difficult feats of engineering skill ever attempted.

Professor Marcus K. Jones, as a lad, went to Grinnell, Iowa,
with his father and family, where he was educated at Iowa Col-
lege, from which he was graduated with the degree of B. A. in
1875. He was at once elected a tutor, and took a post-graduate
course in Sanscrit and Metaphysics ; after which he resigned as
tutor, and for a time took charge of L,e Mars Academy. Failing
health compelled him to relinquish teaching, and in the spring of
1878 he was placed in charge of botan5' in Iowa College, and in
May he began an exploration of Colorado, in the interest of
botany and geology in the west, for the leading universities of
Europe, which was published in 1879 at Liege, Belgium, as " Ex-
cursion Botanique." During this time he temporarily accepted the
professorship of natural science in Colorado College, but went
to Utah in July, 1879. in the interest of science, and was elected
professor of natural science in Salt Lake City Academy in 1880.

Since 1879 his time has been employed as an expert by the
general government, and numerous mining and railroad compa-
nies, in exploring, classifying and reporting the results of his in-
vestigations in geology and botany in the territory embraced
within Colorado, Nevada, California, Utah, New Mexico, Texas,
Arizona and parts of Mexico. In the interest of science, Prof.
Jones has prepared about 125 articles on botany, geology, agri-
culture and meteorology, which have been published in scientific
magazines and papers. He also has compiled and published a
"Manual of the Ferns of the West "—1883; "Salt Lake City"
—1889; " Some Phases of Mining in Utah "—1887; "Utah" —
1889; "Contributions to Western Botany " Nos. 1 to 9 (about
one number each year to 1898) ; botanical papers, about 400 pages
in all; and now has nearly ready for the press a " Manual of
Botany of the Great Plateau," with anticipations of a " Geology
of Utah."

His explorations have been conducted in every state in the
Union except eight. At present he is president of the Utah
Natural History Society, and for twenty years has been at the
head of botanical and geological work in Utah.

til he was fitted to enter Iowa College, which he did at the
age of twenty-three. As Oberlin College, Oberlin, O., offered
him better opportunities he transferred his connection in 1890,
and was graduated with the classical class of 1892. At an early
age he became — through the influence of one Ivan Wheeler —
interested in the stud)^ of birds and their habits, which he culti-
vated. Before he was graduated he was elected to the position

of assistant in geology and /oology; advanced to teacher of
ornithology in 1895; to instructor in zoology in 1899; and to
acting professor of geology and zoology in 1900. He received the
degree of M. Sc. from Oberlin College in 1895 for graduate work
in science. He published a paper, the Wilson Bulletin, which
had a wide circulation, and several .special papers on ornitho-
logical subjects. He delivered lectures on birds with stereopticon
illustrations, and was the first person to offer a course in ornithol-
ogy in any American college. He is a member of the American

The ancestors of Joshua Giddings settled at and about Aga-
watn (or Ipswich, as it was afterwards named), Mass. , about 1635.
Whether they located where Ipswich now is, or at or near the
present site of Gloucester, seems to me to be uncertain for ' ' Ips-
wich is said to have been visited by Europeans as early as 1611,
when Capt. Edward Hardee and Nicholas Hobson sailed for
North Virginia, and touched at this place." At all events, the
Jones and Giddings families were not distant neighbors in 1640
to 50 After his marriage to Submit Jones he resided where
Connecticut claimed territory in Pennsylvania (now Athens),
and resided there until about 1796. One record says he went to
Bradford county, Pa., in 1773. At that time that territory was
known as Westmoreland county, Conn. If this be true he must
have returned to Hartland ; for he was not married until 1779,
and his eldest child was born there. After the death of his wife,
he m. 2d, Elizabeth Pease, of Enfield, Conn., by whom he had

Joshua, during the winter of 1805-6, aided by his sons Aranda
P. andElisha (who had already settled in Wayne, O.), commenced
an "improvement" there; and in the month of May, 1806,
under the guidance and care of a son-in-law, Nathaniel Coleman,
the whole family removed from Cauandaigua, N. Y., to the new

No. 53.
Why William Clark Jones went to Lebanon, at that time in
Windham county, Conn., in 1772, does not appear from the rec-
ord farther than this: For several generations his mother's
ancestors had resided there, and it is reasonable to suppose that
it was by the consent of his parents, and that he resided there
with some of his relatives. (See personal sketch of his father
and mother, No. 24 ) It was from there that he first went into
the army and began a military experience which embraced sev-
eral enlistments, and covered the entire time — with short inter-
vals—consumed by the Revolutionary war.

186 HISTORY AND GENEALOGY OF THE

As all males from sixteen years of age to sixty were re-
quired to be prepared for military duty, and many enlistments
were for short terms to meet some emergency, some of the
record of service performed at that time has been lost, or
was never put upon the record. Drafts were made several times
upon the militia. These drafts are to be understood in a differ-
erent sense from the common interpretation, for it was the selec-
tion of suitable persons from the trained and armed state militia
for duty outside the state, to aid the Continental army proper
when some special emergency arose ; and now, after the lapse of
more than a hundred years, the results obtained by that struggle,
when compared with, or measured by the resources at command,
seem nothing short of wonderful.

After marriage, he lived for a time in Barkhamsted,
near his father;, but in 1791 removed to Litchfield, Herkimer
count}r, N. Y., and in 1802 emigrated to Hartford, Trumbull
count)-, Ohio, being among the early settlers in that town. His
father-in-law, Edward Brock way, and his brother, Isaac, had
preceded him two or three years (they went there first in
1799, and in 1800 removed their families) ; and his sister,
Jemima Borden, and nephew, Elam, followed in 1804 and 1805,
so there was quite a family reunion when they got together,
as the early settlers often did to assist each other in the heavy
work which the times and their surroundings caused.

William was proud of his experiences during the Revolu-
tion, as he had a right to be : and although he never acquired the
militar}' rank that some of his brothers did, he prided himself
on the fact that he was at Bunker Hill, Saratoga, and the sur-
render of Burgoyue. As years passed by his meraon- seemed to
revert to those thrilling times, and he never wearied in talking
about them; so to distinguish him from his son Wiiliam, he was
called " Bunker Hill William."

Adjoining the graves of his first wife, Mrs. Elizabeth Jones,
and their son, Richard, in East Hartland, Conn., cemetery, is
one marked to the memory of " Abigail, daughter of Mr. Titus
and Deborah Hayes, who died October 4, 1788." This would
indicate that Mrs Elizabeth (Hayes) Jones was a member of the
Titus-Hayes family, and quite likely a sister of Titus Hayes, Sr.

Mr. Jones secured extensive real estate holdings just south
of Burghill, a part of which are still occupied by his descend-

auts. The government recognized his military service by grant-
ing him a pension, and his declining years were passed in the
comfort which an active and useful life guarantees to all who are
industrious and economical. (See Military Record.)

accumulated a handsome property, and reared a family of worthy
children. Domestic in his tastes and habits, he never pushed
himself to the front in public matters, but was always ready to
give a helping hand to every worthy object. He took a deep
interest in educational advantages ; and was an active and influ-
ential member of the church to which he belonged. He was
connected with the Methodist denomination for many years, but
later in life, on account of a quarrel with Elder Swazey, over
church affairs, he transferred his membership to the Congrega-

Dr. Asahel Jones read medicine in the office, and under the
tutorage, of Dr. Jeremiah Wilcox, at Burghill, O. Feeling the
need of a more extended culture, he secured the use of a horse,
which a neighbor desired to have returned to Connecticut, and
rode it to New Haven, where he attended two courses of lectures
and perfected himself in his chosen profession. When his
course of study there was completed he shouldered a knapsack
which contained his wordly possessions and walked home lo
Ohio. Exceedingly troubled by rheumatic affections, and what
in medical science is termed " Hemorrhagic Diathesis," he was
never a rugged man, but stood constantly subject to an untimely
death, as a slight cut, or the extraction of a tooth would cause
such excessive bleeding that the result was always uncertain.
Fortunately neither of his sons inherited this tendency. In early
life he had been a successful school teacher ; and later, his
services as an instructor in medicine were taxed by aspiring
students, so that often he had six or eight young men at a time
under his care.

With an extended practice and a brilliant future he passed
away in the midst of a successful career. His widow afterwards
married Mr. Mathew Laird, of Mesopotamia, O., where she
resided until his death ; when she returned to her sons and lived
with them until she died. Mr. Laird was a soldier in the war of

Shortly after his marriage, William Philander Jones
bought a farm in Johnson township, where he resided until the
spring of 1849, when he sold out and spent a year in the west,
uncertain as where to settle. He returned to Ohio and bought
a farm in Farmington, and in addition conducted a cheese
factory, it being one of the first in all that section. In 1856, he
sold out again, went to Warren. O., where he established himself
in the grocer}- business, which he successfully conducted until
his enlistment in 1862. After his return from the army in 1865
he settled near his son, at Youngstovvn, O., and employed his
time in securing and writing insurance, a pursuit which he fol-
lowed until he died. Mr. Jones was one of the most genial and
companionable of men. With a mind well stored with informa-
tion secured by reading, travel, and experience, he always left
ideas for a companion to store up and improve by.

fined to a winter term, the summers being devoted to working the
small farm. Two terms at West Farmington Seminary, where
he worked for his board, and later two terms at Twiusburg Semi-
nary prepared him so well for teaching that he was intrusted

years before. During the Farmington schooling he had as a
chum William Stewart, who afterward was Senator Stewart of
Nevada; and at Twinsburg there were twenty or more Indian

students. In 1849 he entered the office of Dr. R. M. Beebe as a
student, and for a year before he graduated from study was
admitted by Dr. Beebe as a partner. In 1853 he graduated from
the medical department of the Western Reserve College, and

198 HISTORY AND GENEALOGY OF THE

commenced the practice of his chosen profession by himself and
in competition with two established practitioners at West Farm-
ington, O. He was successful from the start, and soon estab-
lished a lucrative practice.

Upon his return from the army in 1S64, learning of Dr.
Beebe's sickness, he went to him and remained there until his
death in November, 1864. The following April, Dr. Jones pur-
chased a home in Kinsman, O., removed and still resides there:

Was a member of the Trumbull county pension board examiners
during the administration of President Harrison, and for two
terms. 1894 to 1S98, represented Trumbull count}- in the general
assembly of Ohio. For several years Dr. Jones has gradually
dropped long rides and confined his professional work principally
to chronic cases and office consultations.

Mrs. Jones is a daughter of Major Eph and Mary Ann
(Taft) Fuller, and traces her family ancestry to Edward Fuller
who arrived in America on the Mayflower. 1620. She is a lady
of culture and education, holding a diploma as a graduate in
medicine from Wooster Medical College, of Ohio, which was
conferred in the spring of 1S7>. Their daughter may well be

Since the above sketch was written. Doctor Allen Jones has
joined the silent majority. A patient sufferer, he shed the same
sunlight of cheerfulness in his own sick room, that during his
life he carried with him into the rooms of his patients. In
summing up his life work, it is but simple justice to his
memory to say that as a physician he stood at the head of his
profession. As a politician, his record is without a stain. As
a Christian gentleman, above reproach ; and as a husband and
father, the prayer that actuated his daily life. ' ' God bless you
my darlings." was the last utterance that passed his lips.

•• I knew him well, even to the end.

As brother, adviser, physician and friend.

Where duty called it was his to go,

Through tempest whirl, or the biting snow :

Nor counselled he as to duty's course —

Of his own good ease, or his patient's purse.

It matters but little if low or tall,

His graven shaft, or if none at all :

For granite must crumble and bronze will rust.

But a life that is true cannot end in dust.

Love must be immortal. Hope cannot die.

Or God is a myth, and his wisdom — a lie.''

5iOO HISTORY AND GENEALOGY OF THE

Her father had acquired considerable musical culture and had a
baritone voice of excellent quality. With a love for the art, he
carefully fostered the developing talent in his child, and gave it a
start in the right direction. At the age of seven years she began the
study of music on the organ ; but later took up piano practice
under the tutorage of Miss Blanche Williams, of Boston, which
was supplemented by study under the direction of Mme. Kate
Ockliston Lippa, and Eugene C. Heffley, at Pittsburg, Pa.

Her voice culture has been conducted by her husband, Prof.
Eafferty, who, as a teacher of the voice and chorus conductor,
stands in the front rank as au artist in his chosen profession. No

music than that possessed by Mr. and Mrs. Eafferty.

William Jones Terrell supplemented a common school and
academic education, by taking a literary course at Ann
Arbor, Mich., supporting himself meanwhile by teaching. He
graduated from the law department of that university with
the class of 1865, and in April of that year was admitted to the
bar by the Supreme Court of Michigan. In June he located at
Harrisonville, Cass county, Missouri, and was admitted
attorney and counsellor at law, by the sixth judicial court of
that state. Here he resided, practicing his profession until June,
1889, when he removed to Youngstown, Ohio, and was at once
admitted to practice in Ohio by the Supreme Court of that
state.

Failing health compelled a change of climate, and in 1892
he removed to New Jersey, settling on a farm called "West
Hill," and situated a short distance south from the city of Bur-

202 HISTORY AND GENEALOGY OF THE

lington, where he still resides, leading a somewhat retired life.
Mr. Terrell was active and successful in the practice of his pro-
fession from 1865 until his health failed, and he removed to New
Jersey. Politically, he is a Republican. In 1872 he was an
alternate delegate at the National Convention at Philadelphia ;
and in 1880, as a delegate, was one of the "Stalwart 306."
Though he never sought political office, in 1882 he was nom-
inated by the Republicans for congress, and canvassed his district
on a platform for a protective tariff and hard money, reducing
handsomely the usual large democratic majority and winning
plaudits, even from his political foes. For many years he was
chairman of the county Republican committee, and at the time
of his removal from Missouri was chairman of the congressional
committee. In 1865 Mr. Terrell was appointed by the governor
of Missouri superintendent of the public schools of Cass county,
and afterwards was elected to the same position. He served two
terms as county attorney, the second appointmment being made
by a court that was politically opposed to him. The "Bench
and Bar of Missouri " says : " During the four years that Mr.
Terrell was prosecuting attorney he made a vigorous and able
prosecutor, gaining popularky with all classes except evil
doers."

Mr. Terrell was made a Mason in 1865 at Ann Arbor, Mich.;
and in 1882 and 1883 was grand commander of Knights Templar
of Missouri.

Mrs. Terrell is a daughter of the late Captain Robert
Quigley, of Chautauqua county, New York. Her mother's
maiden name was Everts, and she was born at Burlington, Vt.
While living at Youngstown, the [sorrow of a lifetime came in
the death of their adopted daughter, who from infancy had been
their loving care, and the hope of their old age. Her body was
laid to rest in Oak Hill cemetery, at Youngstown, and it is
the wish of her parents that their final resting place may be by
her side.

Hon. Asahel Wellington Jones passed his boyhood upon a
farm in Johnson, Trumbull county, Ohio. His common school
education was supplemented by an academic course in Western
Reserve Seminary, at Farmington, Ohio. In 1857 he com-
menced the study of law with Curtis and Smith, of Warren,
Ohio; and was admitted to the bar September 27, 1859 For a
short time he practiced his chosen profession at Warren, but
when oil was discovered at Mecca, he removed to that place, con-
tinuing there until July 5, 1864, when he permanently located at
Youngstown, Ohio.

His early practice was principally confined to protecting the
rights of -individuals, as against large corporations; and he was
so successful that within one year, in but three cases, he re-
covered judgments aggregating $100,000. His vigorous action
gave the corporations, large employers, and transportation com-
panies an object lesson, which, coupled with protective law,
taught them the necessity of exercising the utmost care and
vigilance in protecting private property and human life.

Disliking criminal practice he has confined his endeavors to
the settling of civil cases ; and for the past twenty-five years has
been almost constantly employed as a retained attorney and
general counsel by the Pittsburg and Western Railway Co.; and
attorney for the Pennsylvania; and Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
companies.

Mr. Jones possesses those qualities of mind that make a
successful lawyer, and his mental powers are sustained b3? a
physique that is almost colossal. His mind is wonderfully
receptive, his memory broad, retentive and tenacious, which
places him in a position to almost instantly fathom the merits of
a case; a gift which but few possess in so marked a degree.

In 1880 Mr. Jones was a delegate in the National Republican
convention at Chicago, 111., and aided in the nomination of
President Garfield. For many years he has been a regular
attendant of the state conventions of his party, usually as a
delegate; and there has been no campaign for many years with-
out his being called upon to take " the stump," not onl}*- in Ohio,
but in other states.

He was one of the organizers of the Ohio State Bar Associa-
tion in 1880, and became its fifth president, succeeding such

JONES FAMILY. 205

great lights in the legal profession as Rufus P. Ranney, Stanley
Matthews, Richard Harrison and Gen. Durbin Ward. So in-
terested has he been in that association, that he has never missed
but one of its annual meetings, always taking an active and
influential part in its deliberations and determinations.

He was one of the committee selected to draft the constitu-
tional amendment and a bill to establish the circuit court, and
secure its passage through the general assembly of the state of
Ohio, and a ratification of the constitutional amendment by the
people. At the time there was much opposition to the establish-
ment of a court intermediate between the common pleas and
supreme courts; but now the wisdom of its adoption is conceded
by all. Mr. Jones has for many years maintained a membership
in the American Bar Association. For a more extended record,
see Bench and Bar of Ohio, Vol. II, page 265.

He has never sought or desired office, but in 1895, in the
Republican convention at Zanesville, Ohio, he was unanimously
chosen for lieutenant governor of the state, and though he pro-
tested most emphatically, he was induced by his numerous
friends to accept the nomination, and at the polls was elected by
a large majority. Two years later, he was again nominated and
elected, thus serving two full terms. It is probable that one of
the most powerful influences that determined him to ultimately
accept this position was his great esteem for Senator Foraker, who
personally requested him to accept, and Governor Bushnell, who
headed the ticket. Governor Bushnell and Mr. Jones had become
warm personal friends while serving on the staff of Gov. J. B.
Foraker, during which time Mr. Jones, as judge advocate general
of the state, held the rank of brigadier general.

He was the principal factor in the organization of the Second
National Bank of Youngstown, in which institution he is a direc-
tor and large stockholder. Another important enterprise that
was suggested and brought into being by his energy, is the Dol-
lar Savings and Trust Company of Youngstown, in which he is
also a director. Outside of law, business, and politics, his recre-
ation is a magnificent model farm of six hundred acres, within
easy distance of the city, which is well equipped with buildings
and implements, and stocked with a superb herd of Shorthorn
cattle, and high-bred horses, which, instead of being an expen-
sive luxury, yield a good profit. When the Ohio militia was

206 HISTORY AND GENEALOGY OF THE

organized during the dark days of the Civil war, Mr. Jones be-
came a member of Company A, 4th Regiment (Trumbull
county). Was elected captain, and commissioned as such July
4, 1863, by Governor David Tod. With his command he was
present at Cincinnati with " The Squirrel Hunters " in 1S62. He
still retains his commission, and his discharge from that expedi-
tion.

It is a pleasure to every ex-soldier of the war of 1861-5,
that he has been faithful in fulfilling the dying admonition of
his father to " always be kind to my comrades of the Civil war."

Such a request was not needed, but was perhaps all the more
carefully kept for having been made ; and no warmer heart to-
ward an honorably discharged soldier beats, than the one which
performs its office work within the breast of Mr. Jones.

Ann Janette Palmer was born at Ripley, N. Y., June 16,
1840. Her parents died while she was quite young, and she
went to live with an uncle, Harmon Locy, at Hampden, Geauga
county Ohio. At the " Old Kingsville Academy," where both
she and Mr. A. W. Jones were attending school, they met; and
were married September 24, 1861.

On her maternal side she was of English descent, the grand-
mother being born in London. From her father she inherited
from both sides the good blood of New England, her paternal
grandfather coming from Litchfield, Conn., to Delaware count}',
New Jersey, where he was a recruiting -officer during the war of
1812.

Her maternal great-grandfather journeyed westward from
Fairfield, Connecticut; entered the historic Wyoming Valley, and
built the first mill in that valley. Here the grandmother of
Janette Palmer was born, and during the terrible scenes of
massacre by Butler and his savages, saw her brother, who was a
lieutenant in the Colonial army, and her father killed. The
mother (Janette Palmer's great grandmother Williams, whose
name has gone down in history), took this child with two other
small children and made a successful escape and journey of
over three hundred miles through a wilderness, to their old home
in Fairfield, Connecticut. At one time during this perilous jour-
ney, they were hiding in a hollow log over which the pursuing
savages dashed.

The sturdy, vigorous ancestry of Mrs Janette (Palmer;
Jones revealed itself in her sterling character. Unostentatious,
and with no desire for personal publicity, she was peculiarly a
woman of the home and a friend to the needy. It has been
truthfully said of her that " the motto by which she lived, and
from which she influenced those with whom she came in contact,
was, ' whatever you do, do it the very best you cm.' '

wheat, after which Brock way and Jones returned to Connecticut
for their families, leaving Brainard alone to continue the work
already begun. Mr. Brainard spent a quiet winter in the wilder-
ness, and employed his time in chopping a more extensive clear-
ing. The return of his partners in the spring of 1800, with
their families, must have been a joyful time to him after being
deprived of congenial society for so long. Mr. Jones passed the
balance of his life in Hartford, and lived to see the wilderness
blossom, and the solitary cabin give place to a village, which was

A PARTIAL RECORD OF THE SOMERS BRANCH.

Until the incorporation of Somers as a separate colony, or
community, Enfield records show that the sons of Benjamin
Jones, who belonged in Somers after its establishment, were
prominent in all local affairs, for they were continuously elected
to some office of honor or trust. In addition to lands which had
been acquired by their father, they secured by grant in their own
names extensive holdings. Ebenezer and Eleazer, particularly
seem to have been active in this respect, and undoubtedly sup-
ported their families by agricultural pursuits. On account of
the necessary expense which would occur, and the size this vol-
ume would reach, no vigorous effort to secure recent vital records
of this branch has been made except so far as earl)7 emigrations
brought its members to Ohio. It has been projected far enough,
however, so that any who choose, may add subsequent records,
and so complete any branch which they maj' desire. As many
persons confuse Benjamin Jones, Jr., with his father Benjamin
Jones, of Gloucester and Enfield, the following records are sub-
mitted:

" Benjamin Jones, Jr., Cooper and his wife, Anne, to John
Pryor (Warrantee Deed) the whole of a certain grant made to
my father, Benjamin Jones, sr ect. Date of this deed 28 Oct.,
1713. Old Hampshire County Land Record, Book ' C,' p. 408.

"John Pryor to his son, Benjamin Jones deeds ten acres,
17th Dec, 1711 (Book 'C,' p. 400).
15

226 HISTORY AND GENEALOGY OF THE

" Benjamin Jones, sr., and his wife, Elizabeth to James
Killum give a warantee deed for four acres 5th March, 1715.
(Book 'C',p. 393.)"

" Jones Benjamin, a first settler on the 4th lot south of the
Somers road east side — subsequently the first settler in Somers —
died 1718, left six sons, (his son) Benjamin, b. 1710, settled in
Somers where many of his descendants now reside. ' ' See History
of Enfield, Vol. I, p. 29.

It will be observed that Benjamin Jones, who married Ann
Prior, and who was the father of the Benjamin who was born in
1710, does not appear in the record quoted again, p. S95.

" 1756, July 5th laid out to Benjamin Jones the second of
Somers forty-seven acres of land b}^ grant of the proprietors this
day made to him within the bounds of land laid out to his grand-
father, Benjamin Jones late of Somers, deceased," etc. This
Benjamin, called " Benjamin Jones the second of Somers " was
born in 1710, and married Elizabeth Gibbs, for it will be noted
that his father had died over two years before this. By trade,
the Benjamin who married Ann Prior was a cooper, as appears
from record quoted; but he acquired a considerable real estate,
and probabhT eventually followed farming. He was elected to
various offices which he seems to have filled acceptably.

After the death of David Jones, his widow desiring to have
her family settle around her, and not being able to purchase land
as high priced as it was in New England, emigrated from Gran-
ville, Mass., in 1807, to Ohio, and settled in Wayne township.

230 HISTORY AND GENEALOGY OF THE

It was quite an undertaking at best; and to a widow with seven
children, ranging in age from eleven to twenty-four years of age,
it must have seemed an herculean task; but it only shows the
extent to which a mother's love for her offspring will lead her.

The children grew up worthy citizens, and took their share
of the privations incident to a new settlement. The eldest
daughter, Kezia, taught the first school in the township, of
which the late Hon. J. R.Giddings says: " During the autumn
of that year (1809) a schoolhouse was erected near the center of
the town. It was a small log cabin, with windows of oiled
paper * * * Kezia Jones, now (1853) the wife of Nathaniel
Coleman, was employed to teach the first school taught in the
township. Your speaker was a member of that school, and in it
obtained the only common school education which he acquired
after he was ten years of age."

In every way Mrs. Coleman was a superior woman, and
considerable of her time in later years must have been spent in
recording family genealogy; for a memorandum book of such
information, written by her, is in existence yet, and has aided
materially in the compiling of this branch of the Jones family.

Lieutenant Simon Fobes (see Military Record) purchased
from Oliver Phelps fifteen hundred acres of land in township
No. 8 (now Wayne), second range of the Western Reserve, at
one dollar and twenty-five cents per acre ; and on June 21 , 1803,
in company with his son Joshua and wife, and another son, Elias
(a lad of ten, as company for the newly married couple who
might consider this trip as their bridal tour), left Somers, Conn.,
for the Reserve, with a wagon drawn by a yoke of oxen and a
horse, which conveyed Joshua's household goods. After two
days they were joined by David Fobes, a relative, who shared with
them the hardships and privations of a journey of forty-nine
days.

After locating his purchase, and seeing his son's family
established in their new home,— the first settlers in Wayne town-
ship,— he returned in September to Connecticut on horseback, and
turned his attention to providing for the removal of his entire
family, which he accomplished in 1807. He continued to reside
in Wayne until 1817, when he removed to Kinsman, O. , where he
passed the balance of his life. While a resident of Somers, Conn.,
he held the offices of justice of the peace and selectman, and
represented Somers in the Connecticut legislature three consecu-
tive sessions.

Nathaniel Coleman emigrated to Ohio with the family of
his father in-law, Joshua Giddings (see No. 52), in 1806, from
Canandaigua, N. Y. His wife was, Submit, daughter of Joshua,
and Elizabeth ; aud only sister to Hon. J. R. Giddings, by
whom he had one child that lived, Eliza, who married Sylvester
Ward, of Wayne, O.

Mrs. Submit (Giddings) Coleman died January 1, 1809, and
was buried in the Center cemetery in Wayne.

Mr. Coleman was prominently interested in the prosperity of
the new settlement ; was one of the first persons elected to the
position of justice of the peace, an office in which he served
continuously from September 24, 1811 —the date of his first com-
mission— for twenty-one years. He acquired a large farm which
he successfully managed ; was extensively engaged in raising
mules for the southern markets ; was foremost in every enterprise
for the public good ; and, ably aided by his wife, their home was

Delaware county, Ohio, about 1838, where he lived for quite a
number of years. A colony from Granville, Massachusetts, with
whom his mother's family were acquainted, had emigrated to
Ohio and settled at Granville, Licking county; and being a
lover of the chase, in his travels back and forth he hunted over
and killed deer upon land where the city of Columbus now
stands. After the death of his wrife (who died childless) in
1844, he returned to Ashtabula county, and married a widow
lady who had several sons by a former husband. Soon after the
birth of a daughter, the mother abandoned her home, leaving
the child for its father to care for as best he could. A relative —
Azel B. Fobes — adopted the girl and brought her up as his own;
the father making his home at his sister's, Mrs. Nathaniel Cole-
man.

Rochelle, 111., July 1, 1899, and in compliance with his request,
his body was cremated at Buena Park, Graceland cemetery,
Chicago, 111.. July 3, 1899. Rev. W. H. Hoisington was a son
of Capt. Job Hoisington, who was killed by the Indians in 1813,
when William was but ten months old. The mother, with four
other children, fled under -the protection of the soldiers, the babe,
William, being carried by his mother. When she returned to
her Buffalo home, she found only the cellar, and a barrel of pork
which she had buried in the snow the day before her flight.
She boarded over the cellar, built an oven, and supported her
family by baking, and making beer for the soldiers. William
was born with defective sight. At the age of seventeen he was
amusing himself with the lens of his mother's spectacles, when
for the first time he saw the form of the letters of the alphabet.
A stranger, noticing his condition, gave him a magnifying glass,
by the aid of which he soon learned to read. Securing some
books from his brother, who was a student at Williamstown
College, he applied himself so assiduously, that at the expiration
of three months he wrote a letter to his brother, in the L-atin
language. On account of its educational advantages, Mrs.
Hoisington removed to Oberlin, O., soon after the college was
founded, where William studied, and taught, for nine years.
With a view to making the ministry his life work, he studied
theology, and was regularly ordained. With continuous study,
came total blindness ; so he secured scientific and historical
works and prepared for the lecture field by which he devoloped
into a man of extensive reading in both ancient and modern
literature. In Theosophical science — so little understood -he
found what he believed to be the basis of all religion ; and felt
that there was no "Religion higher than Truth." He was in
the thick of the fight as an Abolitionist, and worked with Gerrit
Smith and Hon. J. R. Giddings, thereby broadening his knowl-
edge in political economy.

For nearly fifty years his knowledge came to him from
reading which was done by his wife, or some member of his

MILITARY RECORD.

The search for militar3T history has been faithful and
extended, resulting in a record of which the family ma3^ well be
proud ; and yet, there are those connected with the family who
are just as worthy of notice, but records could not be obtained.
As time passes by, this record will become more and more valu-
able, and will be referred to by descendants with just pride.

It has been impossible to glean much history connected with
the service rendered in the War of 1812 by the members of the
family who resided in Connecticut, aside from the statements of
their service, and what general history gives.

The following has been gathered relative to the service of
those who lived in Ohio at that time.

The American reverses on the frontier which culminated in
the surrender of Gen. Hull at Detroit, left the infant settlements
of Northern Ohio at the mercy of the British army, and a horde
of treacherous savages. The uprising which ensued was simi-
lar to that caused by the "Lexington Alarm," and a prompt
response followed. Of the part taken by the citizens of north-
eastern Ohio in the defense of their homes, but little will be
found in history.

From the Adjutant General's office at Columbus the
records are missing ; and at the War Department, of that which
pertained to the volunteer service, but little escaped the confla-
gration of 1814.

The "Trump of Fame," published at Warren, Ohio, dated
September 2, 1812, says: "As soon as the news of the fall
of Detroit was confirmed every man rushed to arms, old and
young, without distinction of politics repaired to the post of
danger. None waited for the formality of orders ; but everyone,
whether exempt from military duty or not, put on his armor.
Most of the women and children fled to the interior settle-

(238)

JONES FAMILY. 239

meats, spreading the appalling news, which was taken up by
couriers, riding night and day, calling for help. Those who
were able to bear arms prepared to march, in many cases before
the general orders were known."

The troops marched to Harpersiield in Ashtabula county, in
three days, and there were reorganized ; about half the men
being sent back to protect women, children and homes. The
most vigorous were retained, and pushed forward, ultimately
reaching Ft. Stephenson, Lower Sandusky.

The exposure and hardship was severe but the loss was slight.
There was some fighting upon the Sandusky peninsula in Sep-
tember, 1812, with a loss to the command of six killed, and ten
wounded. The men were discharged and sent home February
24, 1813. For a full and extended account, see Mahoning
Valley Historical Collections.

The following from Mr. Bushnell's Hartford Centennial
address will aid in throwing more light upon service rendered by
the pioneers ot Northeastern Ohio :

" After Hull's surrender at Detroit, in August of that year,
President Madison having called for one hundred thousand men,
Col. Hayes' regiment, then comprising the militia in what is
now Wayne and Williamsfield, Ashtabula county ; Kinsman,
Gustavus, Vernon, Johnston, Hartford, Fowler, Brookfield,
Vienna and Hubbard, in this county, was drafted for the
number assigned it ; but immediately, and almost before the
completion of the draft, Gov. Meigs called out the whole
force. Every able-bodied man was ordered to be in readi-
ness to march in three days. Col. Hayes started on time with
his regiment from their old parade ground at Burghill, and
marched to Williamsfield, and encamped the first night. The
second day reached Jefferson and at Austinburg, the day follow-
ing, came up with two loads of provisions which had been sent
ahead from home.

"On reaching Harpersfield, orders were received from Maj.
Gen. Wadsworth, through Gen Perkins, to discharge one-half
of the men. In reducing the number of officers in proportion
to rank and file, those holding commissions of more recent date
were sent back, and the older officers were retained in the com-
mand. Under this rule the men of Hartford and Vernon were
placed under Capt. Burnham of Kinsman; Wayne and Williams-

210 HISTORY AND GENEALOGY OP THE

field, under Capt. Fobes, of Wayne. On arriving at Cleveland
the regiment crossed the Cuyahoga at the foot of Superior street,
and continued its line of March to the Huron river. They were
preceded only by a Cleveland company which had crossed the
river ten days before them. They were without tents or shelter
of any kind, and most of the men were without blankets. Be-
yond the Cuyahoga it was practically Indian territory ; a few
settlements had been made, but the inhabitants had left in haste,
generally driving off their cattle with them, but leaving other
property, such as could not be buried or easily taken with
them.

''Upon arriving at Huron river, a camp was made some five
miles up from its mouth, at which place the troops received their
muskets ; for previous to this they had no arms except such as
each man happened to possess.

' ' In November, Perkins Brigade marched to Lower Sandusky
(now Fremont), leaving a detachment at the Huron river, and
completed the fortification at that point, which was afterwards
so ably defended by Maj. Croghan, of Pittsburg.

" Here they remained until discharged, losing a few men in
skirmishing with the Indians on the peninsula, but took part in
no general engagement. There wyas next to no roads ; many of
the road lines being mere bridle paths through the woods. The
men comprising the regiment were scattered over a territory ten
miles wide by thirty long. Teams for transportation had to be
secured, which was done by the Colonel taking them wherever he
could find them, and a supply of rations secured in the same
manner. Pack saddles were manufactured for a train of pack
horses ; and yet, in spite of all these difficulties, the regiment
marched fairly equipped in less than three days after the call was
received by the commanding officer. * * * After the final
roll call of the " Boys in Blue" at the grand mustering out which
took place in 18b5, we were able to sum up the list of our
losses.

"It is a sacred holocaust on the altar of liberty, which should
ever be kept green in our memories, and duly preserved as a just
tribute to them ; and no less a duty to ourselves to remind us of
the honorable part borne by our townsmen in the great strug-
gles for liberty, the preservation of the Union, and the cost of
life by which it was attained."

in the operations of the Northern Department. He enlisted in
the 7th Regiment, Connecticut Line, which was raised in Janu-
ary, 1777, to continue through the war. Commissioned ensign,
January 1, 1777, having received an appointment to that position
from the general assembly in October, 1776, and went into the
field in the spring of 1777, at Peekskill, N. Y. In September
was ordered under General McDougal to join Washington's army
in Pennsylvania; fought at Germantown, October 4, 1777; win-
tered at Valley Forge, 1777-78; and on June 28, 1778, was pres-
ent at the battle of Monmouth; encamped during the summer
(1778) at White Plains and assigned to Huntington's Brigade.
He was promoted to second lieutenant, January 25, 1778. Win-
tered 1778-79 at Redding, Conn., and during the summer of
1779 the regiment served on the east side of the Hudson in Gen.
Heath's wing. * * * At the May session, 1777, of the Con-
necticut general assembly, he was appointed to be a captain in
the 18th Regiment, State Militia. The regiment was not organ-
ized until late in the year 1778, so he did not resign to accept
this position until May 2, 1779, when he was assigned to com-
mand the 13th Company. He afterwards, for several years,
commanded a regiment of militia and acquired the rank of
colonel.

Joshua Giddings was a member of Colonel Hinman's regi-
ment, and was discharged September 6, 1775. This was the
same regiment in which his brother-in-law, Israel Jones, served
his first enlistment (see No. 50). Upon the surprise of Ft.
Ticonderoga, May 10, Gov. Trumbull ordered this regiment to
march as soon as possible to secure that post and Crown Point
against recapture. The regiment reached Ticonderoga in June,
and Col Hinman assumed command until the arrival of Gen.
Schuyler. It took part in the operations of the Northern Depart-
ment until the expiration of its term of service in December,
1775. (See Note.)

Note. — It is not noted to which company Joshua Giddings belonged,
as, on account of sickness, he was discharged in September. It is reason-
able to assume however that he was a member of the 9th Company, as a
part of its commissioned officers were from Hartland where he resided. —

No. 53:

William Clark Jones marched from Lebanon, Conn., with the
company commanded by Capt. James Clark and Lieutenants
Waterman and Troop, from Lebanon, Conn., for the relief of
Boston, at the Lexington Alarm.

His name does not appear upon the roll of the company, for
the record says ' ' several names are missing; ' ' and it is quite proba-
ble that he like many others marched without enrollment; for
upon his arrival there he with others from over the state — princi-
pally from Windham, Norfolk, Norwich, Plainfield and Mont-
ville were formed into an " Independent and Ranging Company,"
at Roxbury, with Peter Perrett, of Milford, as captain, and
Joshua Chapel, — -probably of Norwich, — and Moses Cleveland,
of Canterbury, as lieutenants, and Ebenezer Hibbard, of Wind-
ham, as ensign. This company was engaged in reconnoitering
around Boston." On May 20 it is reported at Weymouth; May
30, Squantum; June 3, Deer Island; June 18, Charlestown. He
was appointed a corporal, and served with this command two
months and thirteen days, when on the 6th of Jul}', 1775, about
half the company enlisted in Col. Charles Webb's 7th Connecti-
cut Regiment. On the 10th of July, a squad from Milford
commanded by Lieut. Yates joined the regiment and these two
commands were merged into one, forming the 9th Company of
the 7th Regiment, Col. Charles Webb.

This consolidation made a rearrangement of non-commis-
sioned officers necessary ; so of the Ranging Company, Pinney
and Gaylord were appointed sergeants ; and Dewey and Hinkley,
corporals, placing Bailey and Jones, who had been corporals in
the Ranging Company, in the ranks as privates.

This regiment was raised by order of the general assembly
at its July session, 1775, and its companies were stationed at
various points along the sound until September 14, when on
requisition from Gen. Washington it was ordered to the Boston
camp, where it was assigned to Gen. Sullivan's brigade on
Winter Hill, on the left of the besieging line. Here it remained
until the expiration of term of service, December, 1775.

" William Jones was discharged December 10, 1775."

His next service was in a company commanded by Capt.
John Skinner, Col. Lattimer's regiment. This was a draft on

244 HISTORY AND GENEALOGY OF THE

the state militia to meet the invasion of Gen. Burgoyne.
William's brother, Samuel, served in this command, and the draft
credits them with serving from August 25 to November, 1777.
The following is taken from "Connecticut Men in the Revo-
lution:"

"Two large regiments of militia, composed of detachments
from all the brigades, were ordered to reinforce Gen. Gates at
Saratoga in the summer of 1777. They were assigned to Gen.
Poor's Continental Brigade, in Arnold's Division, and fought in
both the battles with the enemy, September 19 and ( ctober 7,
1777. In the first battle they lost more than an}' two other
regiments in the field. Upon their dismissal after the surrender
of Burgoyne, Gates spoke of them as ' two excellent militia
regiments from Connecticut.' They were commanded by
Colonels Jonathan Lattimer, of New London, and Thaddeus
Cook, of Wallingford."

Of the battle of October 7th, history says : " The invading
army gave way in the short space of fifty-two minutes. The
defenders of the soil pursued them to their mtrenchments, forced
the guard, and kdled Colonel Breyman, its commander. Arnold,
the tiger of the American army, whose track was marked by
•carnage, headed a small band, stormed their works, and followed
them into their camp. "

William Clark Jones' third enlistment wras in February, 1778,
in Capt. John Williams' company of militia, Colonel Obadiah
Johnson's regiment. This service was principally in the state of
Rhode Island.

John Kinsman Hezlep was appointed to enter West Point,

academy with honors in June, 1865.

He was assigned as a 2d Lieutenant to the 7th U. S.
Infantry, and was immediately promoted to 1st Lieutenant of
Co. "H." His first services were in Florida ; first, St. Augustine*
afterwards in command of a garrison at Ocala.

When he, with his command, was ordered to leave Ocala,
the citizens held a mass-meeting and passed a set of resolutions,
signed by twenty-six of the most prominent and influential men,
highly complimentary to Lieut. Hezlep and his command, which,
considering the short time since the close of a war which had
engendered intense bitterness, proves the noble manliness with
which he had conducted affairs, while he had been stationed
there. This action bears the date of February 20, 1866.

In July, 1866, Lieut. Hezlep was transferred to the Engineer
Corps, and assigned to duty through the south, with headquar-
ters at Ft. Morgan, near Mobile, Alabama. While in the dis-
charge of duty, inspecting light-houses and forts, that had been
injured or destroyed during the Civil war, he was stricken by
3^ellow fever, and died after an illness of but a few days, although
nobly cared for by a comrade, Lieut. Breckinridge, who yielded
his own life to the dread disease about two weeks later. Lieut.

Note — As this man was certainly not " our Horace," and there is no
tradition in the family that " our Horace" ever served as a soldier, I con-
clude that both enlistments represent the same person, and we are entitled
to neither one, as this man undoubtedly descended from the New Haven
Jones family. I give this record to show that the matter has been carefully
considered. — [ Parker].

Annapolis in June, 1895. He was first commissioned as assistant
engineer, and assigned to duty on U. S. S. Texas, where he con-
tinued during the Spanish war, taking part at Santiago in the

The Trumbull Guards, Ohio Infantry, to which William
Philander Jones, as well as several other members of the family,
b .'longed, was an independent company organized in Trumbull
county for duty within the state of Ohio. The most of the
time during their enlistment was passed at Gallipolis, (). Nu-
merous excursions were made into West Virginia, and efficient aid
was rendered during Gen. Morgan's raid into Ohio.

Mrs. Jones joined her husband at Gallipolis, where he was
detailed on ward duty in one of the hospitals, and together they
kept up a home of their own to which convalescent and sick
soldiers were welcomed and cheered for the life which was before
them. Many an ex-soldier retains pleasant recollections of the
kindness received from Mr. and Mrs. Jones during those dark
days. Mrs. Jones was a granddaughter of Nicholas Bond, who,
as a sergeant in Captain Samuel Wolcott's company, Colonel
Hopkins' regiment, entered the service July 16, 1776, and
marched to the Highlands, N. Y. , where he saw service. See

When war broke out, Dr. Jones by his influence supported
the United States government and aided in recruiting the 19th,
41st, 105th and 125th Ohio regiments of infantry; also the 2d
and 6th Ohio cavalry. In 1862 he passed an examination for a
position as surgeon, but a severe attack of pneumonia deterred
him from receiving an appointment until May 18, 1863, when he
was assigned to the 13th O. V. I. and was mustered in with the
rank of major. The major with his regiment participated in the
campaigns which resulted in the evacuation of Tullahoma and
Chattanooga, Tenn., culminating in the battle of Chickamauga,
Ga. , where the Doctor met severe experience. He had been
placed in charge of a brigade field hospital, and when the break
was made in the Union line on the second day, he was ordered to
turn over the charge to his assistants — with Assist. Surgeon John
K. Moore in charge — and if possible make connection with the
17

main army. This he succeeded in doing by ' ' running a gauntlet ' '
through a shower of bullets. After returning from captivity Dr.
Moore reported ' ' that within five minutes from the time the
Major left, all were prisoners;" and the direct cause - of Dr.
Moore's death was due to that imprisonment.

Major Jones recalls with just pride that he shared the hard-
ship and starvation during the siege of Chattanooga; the battle
of Mission Ridge; relief of Burnside in East Tennessee; and the
campaign toward Atlanta in the summer of 1864. When the
term of those who did not re-enlist as veterans expired, Dr. Jones
was at his request mustered out with them, as the organization
was too small to entitle it to a full complement of officers. This

was a member of the council called at the time to decide upon
the best course to pursue. Imperfect records state that Capt.
Fobes, with his company, served a part of August, September,
October, November, 1812; and that in Capt. Burnham's company
a part were retained until February, 1813. The record also shows
that Sergeant James W. Foster (see No. 956), Ensign Simon
Fobes (No. 1365), Quartermaster Nathaniel Coleman (No.

The following, compiled from the personal experiences of Mrs^
Lauretta (Cutler) Hoisington, will throw some light upon the
service performed b}T the army nurse during the daik days of
the Civil War:

"To steel the heart to suffering, and endeavor to comfort
those I could not cure, was my experience as an army nurse.

262 HISTORY AND GENEALOGY OF THE

It is not pleasant to recall the time when glory was bought with
the mutilitation and suffering of brave and patriotic men ; and
the labor I performed in hospitals Nos. 1 and 2, at Chattanooga,
Tenn. , during the years 1864 and 1865, oftimes comes to me as a
horrid nightmare.

''Surgeon Salter was in charge of No. 1 hospital, and by him
I was first assigned to duty (early in May, 1864), in preparing
* light diet' for the most critical cases, and was assisted by Miss
Babcock, of Chicago, — since deceased. A little later I was as-
signed to duty in the wards of hospital No. 1, a position which I
continued to fill during my service.

" Hospital No. 1 consisted of twelve long wooden buildings —
with some tents — and almost daily received accessions from Gen.
Sherman's army at the front, making room for them by sending
to the north convalescents as soon as they were able to endure
the trip.

' ' The hospitals were divided into sections, with a surgeon in
charge, and each section into wards. The sections were known
by numbers, but many of the wards were designated by the class
of diseases treated in them, as — gangrene ward, measles ward,
typhoid ward, etc. The typhoid ward was somewhat isolated
from the others, and I was told that I need not go into it, but in
passing it the groans, and calls for lemonade impelled me to
enter and minister to their wants as best I could. The result
was that I contracted the fever, and for many days was so sick
that I have no recollection of what occurred. I was taken from
my tent to rooms, and so kindly cared for b}- Mrs. F. Barry,
M. D., of Pasadena, Cal., and Miss H. Dada, now Mrs. H. D
Emons, M. D., of Syracuse, N. Y., that I feel I owe my life to
their care.

"In the meanwhile Sherman was marching on, and another
hospital was necessary, which was called No. 2, and as soon as
able I was assigned to it. I was agreeably surprised by finding
here Miss Tuttle and Miss Dean, of Ashtabula county, Ohio,
who were to be my comrades, and it was a happy meeting to us
all.

"Special, orders for food and drink for each patient were given
by the surgeon, and in passing around to each with cheerful
words, I learned the sanitary needs of each, which were supplied

JONES FAMILY. 263

from the stores sent by the loved ones at home through the
sanitary and aid .societies.

" As time passed by Miss Tuttle, who had been a nurse since
the battle of Antietam in 1862, was transferred to No. 1, and
Miss Dean to the kitchen of No. 2. Many convalescents were
furloughed and went home to vote for President Lincoln, and
we made it a point to add to their comfort from the stores at our
command. I remember one occasion when we gave each man a
few grapes and a pocket handkerchief. The thanksgiving dinner
came, and royally did Miss Dean superintend the feast. It was
like an oasis in a desert; and the hearty response of the boys,
' long may she live, ' was a worthy recompense, as it came from
the hearts of suffering, but brave soldier boys.

" In Januar)-, 1865, a cold snap came upon us, and H. W.
Reid, Co. " B," 2 1st Wis., who was night nurse at the time, came
to my tent for me to go as a voucher for some blankets that had
been carefully laid away to help along a hospital fund.

" We were impatiently asked how many we wanted. I told
them to give Mr. Reid as many as he could carry, and I would
take as many more. It was a heavy load, but we had our
reward in seeing how much comfort they gave.

" No. 2 hospital was broken up, and I went back to No. 1
where I remained until June 7, 1865.

"Meanwhile the closing scenes were being enacted, which
history gives in detail. The war ended, and the soldiers in gray
were returning home, to find only desolation and ruin.

" By a hospital train to Louisville, Ky., and boat to Cin-
cinnati, O., we were returned to the north; but what a change !
Friends who remained at the north, at home, know nothing of,
nor can they comprehend the desolation, suffering, and horrors
of war, nor the physical endurance and anguish that is met
with, but indescribable, in hospital life."

ADDENDA.

All my efforts to locate the descendants of Erastus Lyman
Jones failed. Prof. C. Edward Jones (No. 442) took the mat-
ter in hand, and has secured that which follows, but too late to
be enrolled in its regular order in the text; and although it is not
as comprehensive as we desire, owing to our limited time (as the
printer is waiting for the manuscript), yet it is a satisfaction to
know that it will aid materially in perpetuating the memory of
worthy and prominent members of the Jones family. — [Parker.]

Erastus Lyman Jones was born at Barkhamsted, Conn.,
May 3, 1790; baptized at East Hartland, August 15, same year;
and must have been only about one year of age when his father
(Thomas) emigrated to New York State.

With the other members of the family he shared in all the
vicissitudes of a pioneer life, an experience which prepared him
to successfully encounter those which he met when he removed
to Wisconsin later. He married Abigail Ingersoll, at Pulaski,
N. Y., August 27, 1814. She was born at Hoosack, N. Y.,
July 1.7, 1790; died at Richland, N. Y., October 28, 1835, and is
buried in Riverside cemetery at Pulaski.

Just what year Mr. Jones went to Wisconsin does not appear,
but it is probable not until after 1845, as the record shows the
death and burial of a daughter in York state during that year.
His descendants are not numerous, and are widely scattered,
so it is all the more difficult to obtain full and complete records;
and it will be noted that the great grandson, John Clark Jones,
Jr , is the only male descendant to perpetuate the name.

Anson Riley Jones went to Wisconsin when young to join
his brother, Hon. John N. Jones, with whom he remained until
1852; when, with the James R. Vineyard Company he crossed
the plains to California, the trip occupying six months. Here he

engaged in mining, and other pursuits in different parts of the
state with varying success until 1860 when he returned to Madi-
son, Wis., and became associated with his brother in the hard-
ware trade.

Here he served several terms as alderman; and was a mem-
ber of many local organizations. Was an active Mason, acquir-
ing the degree of Knight Templar; and was elected to office in
the Grand Lodge of the State; also a member of the G. A. R.
from its inception. Ill health compelled him to give up active
pursuits and in 1890, Governor George W. Peck appointed him
to a position in the State'Capitol service which he filled for four
3Tears, residing with his family in the old " Orton homestead,"
where he died.

Mr. Jones was the last of his family, having outlived four
sisters and a brother. He was a warm friend, a man of most
generous and noble impulses, and a loyal citizen. His burial
was conducted by Lucius Fairchild Post, G A. R. (See Military
Record. )

Hon. John Nelson Jones emigrated to Wisconsin about 1842,
where he soon became influential, and wras elected to the Wis-
consin state legislature in -1849. This event caused his removal
to Madison, the capital city, the following year. Here he estab-
lished himself as a merchant in the hardware business, having,
as a youth, learned the tinner's trade, which, with the experience
he had gained while teaching school, had fitted him for a business
career which he successfully followed for fifty years. He was
postmaster at Madison for eight years during the administra-
tions of Presidents Pierce and Buchanan; mayor of Madison,
1876; Master Mason in Hiram Lodge, of which he was one of
the charter members; and was closely identified with all the
important movements which went into the making of pioneer
Wisconsin history, and particularly with that which helped to
make the city of Madison the business and educational center of
the state. Before leaving York state he served time with the
state militia, acquiring the rank of captain; was a man of
genial temperament and great force of character, which is
clearlv illustrated bv the following sketch which is condensed

HISTORY AND GENEALOGY OF THE

JONES FAMILY. 269

from a historical article on "The' Life and Times of Sam
Houston the Liberator of Texas," by A. K. M'Clure.

" I learned to know him (Houston) better and to see the
inner qualities of the man in the winter of 1858. A member of
my family had accompanied another lady, who spent much of
her time in my household, to Washington for a visit to the
lady's father, who was then in congress representing President
Buchanan's native county. They stopped at the Kirk wood,
where Houston made his home and often had a circle of the
more cultivated Indians about him, especially the Cherokees.

One evening while the ladies were in their room dressing to
attend a reception at the President's, the congressman's daughter
accidentally set fire to her dress, which was of a light com-
bustible material and she was instantly enveloped in flames.
Her companion was fortunately dressed in heavy brocade silk
which saved her in her rush to rescue her friend Both screamed,
and the door was speedily broken in by a gentlemen, an entire
stranger to both, who instantly wrapped the suffering lady in his
cloak and saved her life, though she was terribly burned and for
months her life trembled in the balance. * * " * * * *
The congressman, whose daughter had thus been saved by a
Stranger, naturally poured out a father's sincerest gratitude.
After learning that it was Postmaster John N Jones, of Madison,
Wis , who was the hero of the occasion, he begged to knowT of
his daughter's benefactor whether it was possible for him to
render him any service. Jones replied that he was simply on a
visit to Washington hoping to obtain a reappointment as post-
master at Madison, Wis., and that he would be in the city but a
few days. Houston learned the facts, at once had the congress-
man introduce him to Mr Jones, and made Mr. Jones' case his
own. Gen. Cass was secretary of state, and although he had
another person marked for the position, influences were brought
to bear by Houston and the congressman, which decided him to
reappoint Mr. Jones to the position."

From the above record it appears that Mr. Jones was a man
of energy, promptness, and good judgment in an emergency.

From the Iron Age of June 30, 1898 :

" John N. Jones, a pioneer hardware man of Wisconsin, died
in New York, June 19. He was born in Oswego county, New

270 HISTORY AND GENEALOGY OF THE

York, in 1817, and when twenty-three years old he removed to
Platteville, Wis., then in the lead mining district of the state,
where he opened a. hardware store. As a member of the state
legislature in 1850 he was attracted by the beauty of Madison,
the capital city, and moved there, continuing in the hardware
business as a successful and honorable merchant until his retire-
ment in 1886. Mr. Jones was highly esteemed by his fellow
citizens, and was honored by them at different times with almost
every office of trust within the gift of the people. He was the
centennial mayor of Madison, and also postmister for many
years."

MASSACRE OF HARVEY H. JONES AND WIFE.

The following manuscripts, prepared by Dr. John I. King,
of Martel, Ohio, were received too late to be made a part of the
body of this work, but are of so much interest to many mem-
bers of the family, and so replete with local history, that they
are given here entire as they left his pen.

The following account of the massacre of Harvey H. Jones
(No. 285) and his wife by Indians in Washington Territory on
the 28th of October, 1855, is furnished by his stepson, John I.
King, M. D., now (1902) residing in Martel, Ohio, who was
present at that time:

Harvey H. Jones (son of Chauncey Jones, Sr. , son of Thomas,
son of Israel Jones) was born in Vernon township, Trumbull
county, Ohio, July 4, 1825. He, with his parents, removed to
La Harpe, Hancock- county, 111., in 1837, and the next year to
near Platteville, Grant count)-, Wisconsin. In 1851, probably
jn February, he married Mrs. John King (mother of the writer
of this sketch) whose maiden name was Eliza Jane Smail, and
who was born near Maysville, West Salem township, Mercer

JONES FAMILY. 273

county, Pennsylvania, April 8, 1827. Her first husband,
John King, was born in Vernon township, Trumbull county,
Ohio, January 13, 1827. They were married in May, 1847, and
removed to near Platteville, Wisconsin, in 1848, where the writer
was born November 18th of the same year. Mr. King died in
California, January 1, 1850.

Harvey Jones and John King were cousins; Harvey's father
(Chauucey Jones) married Ursula Crosby, and John's father
(James King) married Jerusha Crosby, daughters of Rev. Obed
Crosby On the 29th of March, 1854, Mr. and Mrs. Jones
started overland from Wisconsin for Washington Territory to
make a home. Some six mouths were spent in making the trip.
Man)- thrilling adventures were had, many dangers escaped from
storms, water, wild animals and Indians, and much inconvenience
and many privations experienced during these long weary months
of travel. We reached the valley of the White river on the last
day of September, 1854. We found a "claim" here which
suited us, upon which was a small house which we bought. It
consisted of about three hundred and fourteen acres of land and
is located in part of two sections, the major part being in the
northwest corner of Section 6, Township 21 North, Range 5 East
in King county, the White river lying north and east of it. At
the present time (1902) the postoffice is known as Christopher,
some twenty miles from Seattle. We had not been there very
long before the Indians became frequent visitors. They were
apparently friendly, although some of the settlers were suspicious
of their intentions. Our nearest neighbor lived about one-half
mile distant; there were some six or eight others ranging from
one to two miles away. On the Friday previous to the mas-
sacre the chief had been at our house and was particularly quiet,
sitting a long time without saying anything, and as he left he
said in mixed Indian and English, that soon the Indian would be
gone and the white man wrould have all the land around there.
When my stepfather came in in the evening I told him what
the Indian h id said. He seemed worried, and it was the topic of
the evening. We felt uneasy, but hoped for the best. Our
family consisted of my stepfather and my mother; a half-sister,
Eliza Olive, born December 10, 1851; a half-brother, Harvey
Percival, born December 10, 1853; a hired man named Enos
Cooper and myself. Our house was a one story frame building

274 HISTORY. AND GENEALOGY OF THE

seventeen by twenty-two feet. The east half of the house was in
one large room, the west half was divided into two rooms of equal
size. The only outside door was on the south side of the house
about half way and in the southwest corner of the large room.
The house stood with the long way east and west. About thirty
feet or so southeast from the house was a smaller house with one
room in which produce, provisions and the like were stored. It
was built of logs and the corners left long. On Sunday morning,
October 28, 1855, we were at breakfast (with the exception ot
my stepfather who was sick with pleurisy and was lying abed in
the southwest corner room). The table stood in the center of
the large room. There came a grunt or noise at the door. We
knew it was an Indian, as they were in the habit of making gut-
tural sound, instead of rapping, even if the door was open, when
they called upon us. The door was closed. We were surprised
at such an early call. Mother rose from the table and started
for the door. We children followed her, and when she opened it
we gathered around her. As she opened the door, there stood
an Indian. I was struck, however, by his actions. Instead of
standing before the door, he was standing clear of the doorway
and to our right, and as the door was more widely opened he
stepped still farther away. I remember of glancing up towards
the small house where I saw another Indian. He was standing
at the corner of the building with his gun pointed directly at us
through or between the projecting logs at the corner of the
house. My mother must have seen it at the same instant, be-
cause before I could say anything she screamed, gathered us up,
throwing us into the room and shut the door. This was all done
in an instant. I shall never forget the sight. It seemed as
though I was looking directly into the muzzle of the gun as he
stood looking along the barrel and his hand near the lock as
though he was ready to fire. The intention evidently was to
shoot whoever should come to the door, and that they hoped it
might be one of the adult males of the family. They had
skulked upon us while at breakfast, because as soon as mother
closed the door there was the report of guns and whoops. They
seemed to rise out of the ground, because I remember of looking
out of a window and seeing them come running and whooping,
swinging their arms and gesticulating in an excited manner.
There were some twelve or so in plain sight, but must have been

JONES FAMILY. 275

more altogether. They were armed with flint-lock muskets
which carried an ounce ball. They began firing into the win-
dows and through the closed door. T shall never forget the
sickening sensation at the report of the guns, the sound of the
shivering glass, and my realizing sense of the hopelessness of our
situation. Mother found my stepfather's seven shooter revol-
ver, but she abandoned all hope to continue its use with any
decided effect. After a time she took us three children into the
northwest room and covered us over with a feather bed. Soon
I became tired of my confinement and cautiously looked out from
beneath the bed. Watching, I noticed that the direction of the
balls was upward rather than directly horizontal. The shots were
through the window in my stepfather's room and over his bed.
Huge slivers were torn off the partition as they came through.
Waiting a time I cautiously crawled into the doorway between
the rooms. About the time I reached the room my stepfather
had left his bed and was standing in the door of his room.
Mother did not seem to have known of his being there. I was
looking at him when I saw him stagger and support himself by
leaning against the door casing. He said, "Oh God, I am
shot!" Mother turned quickly and, advancing, said, "Oh,
Harvey, don't say so ! " and threw her arms about him. Upon
examination it was found to be too true. He had a large wound
near the right nipple. She assisted him to his bed. I returned
to my place of hiding. I shall never forget the parting of my
mother and her dying husband. His prayers and advice were
mingled with her sobs. After a time his moans ceased and I
knew he was dead. I never saw him after. Convinced of
the hopelessness of our situation, the hired hand, upon consul-
tation with mother, attempted to escape, but he was shot before
going far. After awhile firing ceased. I should have mentioned
that mother returned a few shots with the revolver, and that the
hired man attempted to escape by using an axe to pry off the
stops on the window-casing in the room in which mother had hid
us. I saw him hesitate, then looked out one way and another,
then leaped from the window. Before I looked from under the
bed where I, with the two other children, was secreted, I heard
footsteps in the house other than those of my mother. When I
did look out the house was lighter, as the door was open and I
saw Indians in the house. The first one I noticed had a loaf of

bread in his arms. I was taken outside. The Indian who was
at our house on Friday was seated on a cut from a log turned up
upon end. He was directing the rest what to do. I was taken
to him, as were the other children a few minutes later. Before
they were brought out he told me not to fear. My sister and
brother were afraid of him. When, or how mother got out of
the house I never knew, nor did I see her after she hid us, until
after the Indians had gone. Strangely enough the Indian told
me where to go. After they had brought out blankets, clothing
and other inflammable articles and stuffed them under the house,
they fired them, and thus the house was gotten well ablaze.
He dismissed all but one Indian, in whose care he afterwards
placed us. After a time the first one spoken of, left, and then
we were alone with the Indian who was to have charge of us.
We had been told to go to a neighbor's whose house was some
two miles away. We had gone there to school during the sum-
mer. When it pleased him, he started with us but in an oppo-
site direction from that we had been told to go. I was fright-
ened now, and began hanging back. He did not go but a few
rods until he left us to go where and when we saw fit. When
I knew that we were free I started with the children for
our nearest neighbor's house. I had not gone far until I became
aware I could get along better alone. I secreted them in a de-
pression made by an overturned tree and hastened away. When
I came within sight of the house I saw that it was abandoned.
The doors were open, the windows broken, chairs, tables and the
like were outside in confusion, and beds were open and scattered
about. I found no one either dead or alive. I then went back
to the children. It was now getting along towrards noon, at least
we were hungry. We had had nothing to eat since supper the day
previous, as we were driven from the breakfast table of this
morning. The store house had been burned at the same time
with our dwelling. I found a heap of baked potatoes and I raked
some out. We found plenty of melted butter, as several firkins
were partly burned. We satisfied our hunger with these. After
looking about the ruins I started with the children to go to the
place where I had been told to go by the Indian. I was startled
and glad to come upon my mother lying upon the ground quite a
distance from where the house had stood. She was alive. I do
not know how or when she came there, nor what was the nature

of her injury at that time. She was glad to know we were
alive and well, but chicled me for not having made good my
escape She told me to take good care of the children and hasten
to Mr. Thomas (the same place the Indian had told me). I did
not want to leave her. She told me it was best, that if the In-
dians should return and find we had not gone they might not
spare us then. With a sad heart and a sense of my responsi-
bility I did as she bade me. I never saw her again. Carrying
my brother, not quite two years of age, and leading my sister,
not quite four years of age, I made my way through wood and
thicket some two miles to where Mr. Thomas had lived. The
house was deserted. I went about one-fourth mile or so
farther on but they were gone. I then went about one-
half mile farther, but could not get near the house because
of a cross dog. The house was deserted, however, and the dog
was guarding the empty dwelling. I returned to Mr. Thomas'
house and did not know what to do next. Mechanically I retraced
my steps towards my home. The children were a constant dan-
ger to me and themselves. My little brother was inconsolable,
he wanted to go home to see his mother. I could keep sister
quiet by saying, Indians kill ! but my brother did not understand
the meaning of this, nor how his crying might attract attention to
us should any Indians be near. He seemed to think I was out on
an expedition of my own and would not go home. It was now
getting late in the afternoon of a short fall day; they, and I too,
were getting hungry and I had nothing but roots and bark to
feed them. An almost overwhelming sense of my danger and
helplessness came over me when I thought of the coming night.
I was in danger from Indians and wild animals and was twenty
miles from a white settlement. To my consternation, I saw an
Indian coming toward us; it seemed from his manner that he
had not heard nor seen us yet. Leaving the path quickly, I hid
the children and then w7ent diagonally back to the path again
and advanced to meet him. When he came nearer, I recognized
him as an Indian whom I had often met at and on my way to
school. We exchanged greetings. I told him of the massacre
and of the whereabouts of the children. He said he knew
something of the kind must have been going on as he had heard
firing in that direction. He said that I should get the children
and come to his wigwam, and that " when the moon was hig-h"

278 HISTORY AND GENEALOGY OF THE

he would take us to Seattle in his canoe. I got the children and
we went to his wigwam. His squaw was very kind and endeav-
ored to win the confidence of my sister and brother, but they
were afraid of her. She gave us plenty of dried fish and
whortleberries to eat, but nothing she could do, could induce
them to go to her. We lay down to sleep, and some time in the
night he awakened me and said it was time to go. We arrived
at Seattle in the morning and were taken aboard the sloop-of-
war Decatur

We stayed at Seattle until some time the next June and
then started for "the states" via San Francisco, the isthmus
and New York City. My sister and brother remained in Wis-
consin and I was taken back to Vernon, Trumbull county, Ohio,
and placed in the care of an uncle, Rev. David King. I never
saw either my sister or brother after we parted in Wisconsin in
August, 1856. In the fall of 1864, I was making preparations to
visit them. A letter came announcing their death from diphtheria.
They were sick only three days and had not seen each other for
three or four weeks, they living three miles or so apart. Harvey
died October 4, 1864, and Eliza, October 7, 1864.

About a week after the massacre, a detachment of troops
was sent from Seattle up the White river to investigate. It was
unsafe to go before and dangerous even then. They found and
buried the bones of my stepfather. His body had heen burned
when the house was. They found my mother's body partly
eaten by hogs, and buried what remained. The Indians had
returned after I saw her and broken her skull and disemboweled
her, a favorite barbarity (as far as females were concerned) prac-
ticed by the Indians upon their victims.

REV. OBED CROSBY.

To this man belongs the distinction of being the one who
organized the first M. E. church class on the Western Reserve,
and in fact, in all that extent of territory north of Marietta,
Ohio, west of the Ohio river and the state of Pennsylvania. In
the early part of the year, 1800, he came from Hartlaud, Hart-
ford county, Connecticut, into the limits of the present township
of Vernon, Trumbull county, Ohio, for the purpose of locating
land and bringing his family later. He selected lot Xo. 6 in the

JONES FAMILY. 279

Wilcox tract in the original survey of the township. He assisted
his brother Timothy to build a log cabin on lot No. 7. He stayed
during the summer and returned to Connecticut, bringing his
family to Vernon in the spring of the year, 1801, and moved
into the log cabin he had helped to erect the season
previous. On the 27th day of April, 1801, Jeremiah
Wilcox executed a deed in Hartland, Connecticut, to Obed
Crosby before Urial Holmes, justice of the peace, for lot No. b',
in the Wilcox tract, containing five hundred acres of land, in
consideration of one thousand dollars. Obed Crosby was a local
preacher. His family consisted of himself and Jerusha (Phelps)
his wife, and children Eliza, Ursula and Jerusha. Ursula mar-
ried Chauncey Jones, from whom descended Harvey H. Jones,
who was murdered by the Indians in Washington Territory,
October 2.8, 1855, and was stepfather to John I. King, M. D., the
writer of this sketch. Jerusha married James King, to whom
was born John, to whom was born the writer, thus making him
a great grandson to Obed Crosby. The exact location of this
cabin is a matter of -much interest, because in it, in the early
part of the year 1801, Obed Crosby organized the class before
mentioned. It stood on the east end of lot No. 7, Wilcox tract,
about four rods west from the road and a little southeast of the
large building formerly occupied by Wilcox Akins as a dwell-
ing, and as a hotel principally since, by Albert Atkins, Joseph
Brown, J. M. Dickerman, Hayes and Johnson, Mason and
Ue Roy, John Dilley and others. It is four hundred and eighty-
two feet south from the line between lots 6 and 7, Wilcox tract,
and a few rods over one-half a mile from the line between Hart-
ford and Vernon townsnips.

The class consisted of Obed Crosby and Jerusha his wife,
Ewing Wright and wife and Eunice Brock way, who afterwards
married Daniel Bushnell, of Hartford. This year (1801) Mr.
Crosby built the first hewed log house erected in Vernon. It
stood on lot 5, West Shepard tract, on the east side of the
road about two hundred rods north from the cabin, on the exact
site of the residence occupied by Alfred Waldorf, deceased. Mr.
Crosby lived in the cabin until his new house was completed.
Meetings were held in this cabin for some six months, and after
his removal, in the new house for about a vear or so.

280 HISTORY AND GENEALOGY OF THE

Mr. Crosby preached in Vernon in 1800, and visited a class
in the Leach settlement over the line in Pennsylvania some ten
miles or so distant. R R. Roberts, afterwards Bishop Roberts,
and Obed Crosby were warm friends, and frequently preached at
Mr. Crosby's house. The services were, after being held in the
new house for a year or so, transferred to a log barn in Hartford
on the west side of the road about one and one-half miles south
from Mr. Crosby's dwelling. This barn belonged to Col. Rich-
ard Hayes and stood opposite to the Alvin Hayes residence.
Services were held here until a log school house was built in
1804, immediately in front of where James Jones lives on old
Burgh Hill. In that, until a frame schoolhouse was built in
1809, on the east side of the road, a little southwest of the Alvin
Hayes residence. This house was moved to the wrest side of the
road, a little south of where the road begins leading to Orange-
ville. Services were held in this building until the two-story
brick schoolhouse was built in 1827-28, within a few rods of the
north line of Hartford township and within the present limits of
the cemetery. This building was torn down about 1849-50, and
a frame building erected on its site. This was moved about one
and one-half miles south in 1885. An offspring of this class was
organized in 1816 at " No. 4," which was divided or abandoned
in about twenty-five years; part going to '' No. 3 " and part to
Orangeville. ' ' No. 3 ' ' was gradually absorbed by Vernon Cen-
ter and Kinsman. Orangeville was organized in 1835. Hartford
Center built a church in 1836. These depleted the parent class
at the '' Burgh." About 1848 the "Burgh" was abandoned as
a preaching place b)^the Methodists, when a class was organized,
meeting in the "old brick (Congregational, built in 1826)
church" at the center of Vernon. In the summer of 1853 they
left the "brick" church, and fitted up a room in a warehouse
standing across the street from Hon. E. A. Reed's: They met
here one year, and then returned to the "old brick." In the
summer of 1864, the Burgh Hill schoolhouse wras made a regu-
lar appointment.

The center of Vernon appointment was abandoned in the
summer of 1867. In November, 1869, the class rented Bennett's
Hall, now occupied by Mr. Pruden as a furniture store. Sep-
tember 24, 1871, they began using a building (the Grove Hol-
comb house) thev moved from the center of Vernon. It stood a

JONES FAMILY. 28]

little south from where Daniel Coe lives on the same side of the
street. Joshua Thompson bought this, building for a barn. In
June, 1872, they erected a nice church a little north of this on
the same side of the street across from Joshua Thompson's. In
1897 this church was sold and they erected a fine church at the
center of Vernon.

Rev. Obed Crosby was born in 1753, probably in Hartland,
Connecticut. He was a soldier under Washington in the Revo-
lution. He was described to me by his daughter Ursula as being
small in stature, with blue eyes, and sandy hair which he wore
very long. He was not fluent in speech, but had a fine voice for
singing. He would frequently sing a hymn and when a company
had collected would preach to them. He died in Vernon, Janu-
ary 13, 1813, a victim to an epidemic termed the cold plague,
aged sixty years. He was one of the first to be attacked. The
disease was undoubtedly a malignant type of typhoid fever.
Rev. Jacob Young preached his funeral sermon.

His wife was born in 1757, and died in Vernon, February 20,
1839. They lie side by side in the old cemetery, just south of
the center of Vernon, where the sound of the bell of the church
they labored so faithfully to establish is wafted over their resting
place. "Granny" Crosby was a local celebrity. She said (to
one who wanted her to listen to a gossipy secret) that she told
everything she ever heard except once. She forgot it before she
saw any one to tell it to, and then walked three miles to find out
what it was so she could repeat it. When her husband died she
wished to stay alone with the remains. Some one asked her if
she would not be afraid to stay with his body. Her reply was
that as he had always been kind to her alive she would not be
afraid of him dead.

JOHN I. KING, M. D.

The subject of this sketch was born in Harrison township,
Grant county, near Platteville, Wisconsin, November 13, 1848.
John, his father, and Eliza Jane Smail were married in Ma;-,
1847. In 1849 he started for California, dying shortl}- after
reaching there, January 1, 1850. He was born in Vernon, Trum-
bull county, Ohio, on the 13th of January, 1827. His widow mar-
ried Harvey Horace Jones in February, 1851. He and John King
were cousins, as his father, Chauncey Jones, and John's father,
James King, married Ursula and Jerusha Crosby respectively,

282

HISTORY AND GENEALOGY OF THE

sisters, daughters of Rev. Obed Crosby. March 29, 1854, Harvey
Jones started by the overland route with his family for Washing-
ton Territory. His outfit consisted of two wagons, covered, one
large and one small; twenty-five head of cattle and one horse.
Mrs. Jones and the three children (John I. King, Eliza Olive
Jones and Harvey P. Jones) slept in one of the wagons, and the
men slept in tents. The route lay through Iowa to Council
Bluffs; through the present Nebraska along the Platte river, pass-
ing Fort Laramie in what is now Wyoming; to Fort Boise, in the

present Idaho; through the northeast corner of Oregon to Fort
Walla Walla, in Washington Territory, to our place of destination
in the White River valley, some twenty miles from Seattle. It
took a trifle over six months to make this drive. All going
across the plains about that time started in fact from Council
Bluffs, that being a place for receiving general supplies. When
a sufficient number could arrange to travel together for mutual
protection and assistance, they were denominated "a train." Our
train consisted of five wagons, nine men, four women and nine
children. Among these were one or two men employed by Mr.

JONES FAMILY. 283

Jones, and also Mrs. Jones' brother, John Smail. When we ar-
rived at the place where the trail divided, one going to Wash-
ington and the other to California, John Smail took the Califor-
nia trail. None except those who have made similar trips
know anything about the dangers, excitement and privations
incident to them. Hundreds of wagons and thousands of cattle
had been congregated at Council Bluffs. On the 6th of May we
crossed the Missouri river, muddy and rapid ; our cattle were not
disposed to go upon the ferry boat ; some jumped overboard but
were finally secured. We encountered some fearful storms of
wind, rain or hail. In one of these our small wagon was nearly
overturned and our tent was blown down. Once in crossing a
deep, narrow stream with steep banks, the chain broke and our
small wagon came near making a somersault backward into the
water, to the great danger of my mother and the other children.
Sometimes our wood became very scarce ; we were then obliged
to burn "buffalo chips," and in one instance, had to gather and
carry willow twigs and driftwood for over two hundred miles.
Often we drove twenty miles and were obliged to camp for the
night without water for our stock. In some places alkali water was
abundant, the thirst of the poor animals was excessive, and in
spite of all which could be done they would break away from
restraint and drink enough of this to cause their death. We
have passed thousands and thousands killed in this way.

While we were at Ft. L,aramie I came near being bitten by a
rattlesnake, mother drawing me away in time to avoid the spring
of the reptile. Somewhere, in what is now Wyoming, the team
of cattle drawing the small wagon containing mother and the
other children ran away. The danger was very great for a
time, but nothing serious happened. Near Ft. Boise part of our
train were killed by Indians. After that, the trains "doubled
up," and consisted of nineteen wagons and thirty able-bodied
men. When we arrived at our final stop, my stepfather bought
a claim with a house on it. It was on too low ground, and in
attempting to move it, it was racked down. Another was built,
twenty-two by seventeen, which was the one in which the
Indians attacked us on the 28th of October, 1855. After the
massacre I spent the greater portion of my time on board the
Decatur, and Eliza and Harvey remained at the fort at Seattle.
In June, 1856, uncle John came to take charge of us. He had

284 HISTORY AND GENEALOGY OF THE

gone to Shasta, California, and had come as soon as he got
word of the death of his sister. In the same month we started
for "the states," via San Francisco and New York City. We
encountered a severe storm off the mouth of the Columbia rirer.
At one time the crew abandoned hope of weathering it. We
stayed two weeks in San Francisco, and then embarked for the
Isthmus of Panama. We touched at Acapulco for coal, and
crossed the isthmus on the railroad built the year before (1855).
We then embarked for New York, passing through the Caribbean
sea and Windward Passage. We reached Platteville, Wisconsin,
in August, 1856. I was then taken to Vernon, Trumbull county,
Ohio, and placed in the care of Rev. David King and his wife.
After attending the common day and select schools in that
vicinity, young King attended Allegheny College, during parts
of the years 1867, '68, '69, '70 and '71. He attended two courses
of lectures, of six months each, in the medical department of
the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor, in 1871 and 1873.
He received his degree of Doctor of Medicine from Bellevue
Hospital Medical College in New York City, February 27, 1873.
April, 1873, he located in the Butler county, Pennsylvania,, oil
regions. His uncle and aunt being in poor health, he removed
to Burghill, Vernon township, in 1874. April 18, 1882, Dr.
King married Kmorinda C. Brown. They had one child, Eliza
Jane, born September 5, 1884 Mrs. King died September 13,
1889. May 6, 1894, Dr. King married Mrs. Addie J. Fitch, and
in September of the same year located in Martel, Marion county,
Ohio, as a practicing physician.
